Morning Scarlet. I had a down pour here a little while ago and now nothing. I think I got chased inside 3 times yesterday with tiny showers popping up. I got a little weeding done and some mulch put down and did a little round up spraying. I sure was pooped by the time 8:00 rolled around. I went to bed early.
I have an old rhubarb patch and do not know the name of it but the stalks are red and get pretty tall. I picked some and gave some to each of my sons last week but have not picked any for myself. I want to put some in the freezer to use next winter. I had better get some picked but it won't be until later today.
This is the first time I have done pickled asparagus. I will use it for Bloody Mary's although DH loved to eat my dill pickles and dilly beans right out of the jar. I have always just froze my asparagus but wanted to try canning some this year. I have canned green beans, carrots, salsa, pasta sauce, dill pickles, dilly beans, beet pickles, and tomatoes. I freeze my corn and beets. I really do get tired of canning and all the work involved and swore I was not going to can anything this year. But.........
I still need to plant carrots, beets, green onion from seed, cucumbers, and my squashes. DH said he was going to plant Acorn and Butternut in large tubs. I will have to give him a little push soon to get them in the dirt.
Better go. I have a long day ahead of me if we don't get more rain.
