Seeds.

This is the first year that I am collecting seeds, so far plenty of basil and some beans.

 

Jams.

My plans for this year was to preserve things I haven't before. So far I did ketchup and salsa, and this weekend I made kiwi and orange jams.

 

In My Garden.

Late September and its still green and growing.

 

Reading.

Its been while since I post what we are reading, the last few weeks of summer were really busy so we didn't read much but since school year started we pick up few new books.

Ella is going thru SMILE and SISTERS and I ordered DRAMA and BABYSITTER CLUB books in the library.
 

I'm reading JULIET IMMORTAL by Stacey Jay.

And Maya started CITY OF BONES. 

 

 

Peaches.

The canning season has been in full swing for a while now, I'm slowly using up all my jars for jams and pickles and fruits. Few weeks ago I canned some peaches.

 

Herbs.

Its starting to get cooler outside and that makes me thing about fall and clearing the garden. I still have lots of herbs and when time comes to cut them all I will not have enough space to dry them so I started now. My husband calls this major hanging.

I also cut some basil to make new plants.

 

Tomatoes.

Tomatoes everywhere, I made some salsa, pasta sauce and dry tomatoes in oil.

24 jars (250ml) of salsa

10 (1L) jars and 4 (500ml)jars of pasta sauce

6 (250ml) jars of dry tomatoes in oil

 

Basil.

Its time for pesto, I have so much basil drying that now its time to make some delicious pesto.

Next in line are tomatoes. I will be making sauces and dry tomatoes in oil. 

In my Garden.

My garden is mostly herbs now, I also have new strawberries and the beans are growing well.
