successful. This year has been pretty good. I started the day by watching the bees pollinate a couple of pumpkins. I'm excited to have some home grown pumpkins for Halloween. Next, I picked enough green beans for a batch for the canner. After that, my peach tree needed attention with several peaches ready to harvest.By noon, I had 7
pints of green beans and 7 pints of peaches canned and ready to go on the shelves. Tomorrow, I plan on making jam and a pie from my boysenberry bushes. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I see my cupboard full of food that I grew. But I'm also very grateful that there is a Von's nearby and that my whole survival doesn't rely on my success as a farmer. It takes the stress out and makes this whole experience fun.
