I'm dripping wet, panting but smiling. Mercy!! I find it amazing that herbs seem to thrive with neglect. This year it's a good thing too!! Talk later - little on the roasted side!! Bye!

Finally!!! The tomatoes are actually starting to turn. They are knobby things but they are doing their very best to produce. Probably the ones to come later will be better but at this point, I'll take what I can get. Three days of solid sunshine is making a huge difference. I'm feeling a little more confident that I will have enough tomatoes to make some of my recipes such as the regular tomato salsa and hot sauce, let alone the black bean and corn salsa, spaghetti sauce, ketchup and of course, canning sauce and whole tomatoes, etc. For the latter 4 or 5 we'll have to wait and see if my garden produces enough tomatoes. Nevertheless, for now, I finally have some!!! I do love my heirlooms. I love the different tastes and colors. Sometimes I can't get enough!! Today is supposed to be excruciatingly hot here. I have milk jugs in the freezer to cool the chickens and if it gets too hot to work in the herb garden I've got plenty to do in the garage. I have a lot of herbs that have been drying on the racks and need to be stripped and put into jars for the Winter. My main objective though, as long as I can stand the heat, is to work in my herb garden today. This is hard but fun work. Today and tomorrow is dedicated to my herb garden so if my blogs are somewhat foggy sounding . . . . . it's because I'm working and dreaming!!

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
