The k...Hi Connie, Wow, I enjoyed this post so much. The kind of things you do there at the Crafty Home Cottage are exactly some of the things I would love to do if I had the space for a garden and if I had a cool place to decorate like the Cottage! :-) You’re an inspiration! Love the sunflowers and zinnias and what a perfect vase! Green beans look excellent! And you and Steve just did an awesome job on the bread and butter pickles. They look delicious! Thanks, as always, for sharing your blog! Also just wanted to say I sure appreciate the encouraging comment you left on my blog just yesterday. You are so kind! Take good care, Connie, and thanks again!

Something kept eating them when they were little plants. I'm not such what it was, but I'm thinking earwigs . . . we have a real problem with them this year. I have a collection of 5 bottles in my kitchen widow and I love keeping them filled with garden flowers. One or two flowers in each and it gets me something pretty to admire while doing dishes and cooking dinner :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-13135703897244594032017-08-05T07:51:06.978-07:002017-08-05T07:51:06.978-07:00Why thank you so much :)Why thank you so much :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-10461547044076716412017-08-05T07:50:47.396-07:002017-08-05T07:50:47.396-07:00I have not had fried green tomatoes in years.

My trouble with canning, is that sometimes I love what I canned or froze so much, that it all gets eaten up BEFORE winter hits! I made frozen salsa last year with my overabundance of tomatoes but we didn't like it very much as was way too runny. I didn't have the canning jars I needed. You are definitely a "farm girl" now! All you need is some chickens and fresh eggs every day.. hee hee. Oh.. and 39 tomato plants? What WERE you thinking?!!!!! I had FIVE last year and it was too many for us to eat them fresh. This year I only planted 3 and I think that's plenty. I don't care for canned or stewed tomatoes so don't need alot extra. Of course, fried green tomatoes ARE good and so is green tomato relish! Have fun!
