Welcome to our garden. The terra cotta containers

Welcome to our garden. The terra cotta containers at the entrance to the garden are potted with bougainvillea plants.

They love our summer heat but don’t tolerate freezing temps. Containers allow us to overwinter the gorgeous plants.

What’s blooming in your garden?!?

We made so much salsa! And it’s a very good thing, since “chips & salsa is life.”

Did you know that when canning tomato recipes that you don’t need to use a pressure cooker? Because of the high acid content you can use a water bath canning technique.

Canning tomatoes is a great way to enjoy your homegrown summer tomatoes all year long.

Recipe below ⬇️

Happy gardening!
x Penny

🍅🍅🍅

HOMEGROWN SALSA (8 pints)

INGREDIENTS
10 cups roasted, peeled, chopped & drained tomatoes
3 cups chopped onions
7 seeded & chopped jalapeños
2 cups chopped bell peppers
2 1/2 teaspoons canning/pickling salt
2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
4 ounces tomato paste

STEPS
1. Prepare your tomatoes, broil tomatoes for 5 minutes, peel, chop and drain
2. Chop remaining ingredients (onions, peppers, herbs)
3. Combine all ingredient in a large stock pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes
4. Fill sterilized pint jars 1/4 inch from the rim, wipe the rim clean, seal with lid and ring.
5. Using the water bath method, bring water in your steam bath canner to a boil then place pint jars in the canner. Bring water back to a low boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
6. Remove jars from water and let cool. Check to see that lids have sealed (you will hear them pop and the lid should be firm). If a jar doesn’t seal…enjoy the salsa now with a bag of your favorite chips. Or reprocess the jar.
7. Enjoy your tomatoes all year long!

Grandma Marilyn’s G A R D E N & the Family Farm

Grandma Marilyn’s G A R D E N & the Family Farm 🌽

Did you know that Bill comes from a family of gardeners and farmers?

I love seeing Grandma Marilyn’s garden each summer and being reminded of the long history of gardening in Bill’s family.

I also love the backdrop of the family farm’s corn, wheat and soybean fields. It’s a reminder of the knowledge and hard work it takes to produce food.

Bill and his family have generously shared their love for gardening with me. It’s great to have so many experts to reach out to as I develop my green thumb. They are such an inspiration.

Tell me…how did you develop your green thumb? Who inspires you?

Happy gardening!

It’s always fun to visit the Weeks’ Family Farm for the annual Christmas in July gathering.

There are 2 things everyone can count on…too much food and lots of cards!

Sweet corn is always on the menu and pie (my personal favorite)! As for cards, I love to play Euchre at family gatherings.

What about you??? Tell me something about your family’s summer gatherings.

Happy day!!!

The bougainvillea are blooming. They love this hot weather. 🌸

When I look at the container plants around our property it becomes very clear that Bougainville is my favorite. I love the bright flowers and it loves the heat, so win-win.

A few other of my heat loving faves are Blue Daze and Lavender.

Do you have a favorite container plant?
