\n- I am going to call this the summer of just enough. My garden is producing but not an abundance. Today we harvested about 5 pounds of tomatoes, just enough for breakfast and a batch of spaghetti sauce. Just peeled and chopped up all the cucumbers from the week. We made a cucumber salad for a party tonight and have enough for a second batch but not enough for pickles. I planted 5 plants of zucchini and 5 plants of yellow squash.\u00a0 But yet we are only getting enough squash and zucchini for fresh eating.\u00a0 I have frozen 2 packs of zucchini for bread but that is not the abundance I was expecting. Just for record keeping, the local farm stand is advertising a sale on tomato for $2.50<\/li>\n
- After much thought and debate, we are headed to Florida to visit Haley before the school year starts. Lily is not able to go due to work. Matt will make his decision based on his two interviews next week.<\/li>\n
- IT is HOT!\u00a0 Like 95 plus degree and we have not had a rain that added to our rain barrel since our beach trip so almost 2 full weeks.<\/li>\n
- Summer Goals were a high propriety this week.\u00a0 I currently have 51 dinner meals in the freezer. I am adding spaghetti sauce every couple of days as the tomato come in.\u00a0 I have had a request for salsa next so I will plan on that instead of spaghetti sauce on Sunday after we return from Atlanta.<\/li>\n
- We purchased a 12 gallon water tub for the chickens last week at Tractor Supply.\u00a0 The chicken drank at least 8 gallons in a week.\u00a0 \u00a0I am hoping between it and the feeder we can decrease the amount of time and energy spent on the chickens.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
