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!!
