Farm Fresh Friday #15

Welcome to Farm Fresh Friday!

Oh, my goodness
I have fresh veggies
coming out of my ears...

yes, I said ears!!





Sweet corn season is upon us!!

We've been competing
with a lone raccoon
in our own garden!

He sneaks in during
 the night
for a snack...
nibbling on a few dozen 
 of the most
perfect ears of corn
in the garden!!

Thank goodness
we know where there is 
a bigger patch of sweet corn...

we raided our friends
sweet corn field on Saturday...

they planted a few dozen
ACRES of it!!




We came home with a nice load of it 
and got it all put up in the freezer!

Frozen sweet corn
tastes just like fresh off the cob
in the middle of winter!!

(and the raccoons haven't
figured out how to raid 
the freezer yet!)




Lately, we've been enjoying 
sweet corn and fresh red ripe tomatoes
at every meal!!

The tomatoes are piling up on me now,
ripening faster than we can eat...





tomorrow I'll be doing 
a batch of SAllsa!!




We have fresh peppers,
garlic, onions...
everything but the cilantro!!


(my cilantro is always done 
and gone to seed by salsa time!)


Honestly,
all of these great veggies
ready all at the same time...

I feel like I'm 
on an old episode of
"Beat the Clock"




We have such a short growing 
season here in the Dakotas!

When it's harvest time,
you better be on your toes
and ready to go, go, go...




The clock's been ticking here-

and I've been canning every 
chance I get!!

Not preserving all of this good fresh stuff
would just be sinful!!







Garden Fresh...

you just can't beat it!!

I have two 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes to process today -- thinking of doing just stewed tomatoes for a change. Have a great weekend, Lisa! xo

I am pleased to see your crops are good . A lot of farmers here have lost their crops due to the drought we have had or their crops haven't produced very well either , corn is one of them soo small . Awesome photos ! Have a good day !

i'm glad you have your friends' field to raid for corn! :) the raccoon thanks you for your garden, i'm sure!
Fresh corn and tomatoes are just the best! Canned and frozen for use in the winter are second best. I used to do all that when I lived on the farm. I'm glad the raccoon hasn't learned how to raid the freezer. :0)

I thought it was just here in Arizona that the cilantro was here and gone before salsa season! LOL!!
I'm with Grandma Barb on the raccoon situation! ;-)
