In Balance With Nature....

Vacation Time!

We just took a nice one week vacation and got some much needed R&R. We headed to Virginia Beach to see Adams Grandpa for a couple days and lay on the beach a bit. Then we came home and drove to Eureka Springs AR, and Stayed in a Tree House!




We had some fun of our own too.....
When we got home Saturday the Garden had exploded....we spent most of Sunday getting it tamed.
We have Zucchinis that may be ready this next weekend, we had enough peas to pick and saute for diner, we dug up a few baby potatoes, and we tasted a not so ripe Cayenne pepper that burnt our mouths for a few hours. (It was all Adam's Idea of course...)
We picked a fourth of the herbs we have and dried them in the dehydrator, we also took the Basil and some of the fresh basil and olive oil and froze them in ice trays for easy cooking later.
We have Big Texas Sweet White onions that are about as big as a tennis ball and they should get as big as a softball. The Pumpkins are about to take over everything, we made the mistake of putting them to close to the watermelons which are also slowly taking over too.
All the tomatoes have about 5-10 little green tomatoes each and are about 3-4 feet tall.
Exciting!
