Did I tell you I was HAPPY? My garden is making me a happy man. I've been busy picking and freezing beans and squash. Plus we have had something out of the garden for supper every night for the past 2 weeks. Let me say it again, I'm happy. The peas finished just in time for the wax beans to start and as the wax beans slow down, the pole beans are coming on. The squash are producing the first good crop of squash I've had since moving here 8 years ago. I also harvested some greens today for supper tonight. The tomatoes are just starting to blossom so they will be coming along in a couple of weeks. If I have some luck, the tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers will all ripen together. I can taste fresh salad already. Still picking strawberries as they ripen but Elaine and I eat these as fast as they ripen. We may be " Two Old Fat People", as we were once called, but we are really just two big kids when it comes to strawberries from the garden. It's time for me to get back to cooking and freezing. First I'll blanch and freeze the beans, then I'll start frying zucchini and freeze that also. Suppers this winter are going to be good. I'll have many more options than I've had in previous years.
