This week we unpacked Serendipity and worked in the garden all week. We planted close to 100 tomato plants so far, but we have room for a couple more rows, so that number may double? We use some tomatoes around The Acre. We used the yard rake to rake up grass clippings and mulch the tomato plants.
Our beans have started coming up. We use just as many green beans. We may need more canning jars.
Corn. Silver Queen. We want to can a couple dozen quarts this year.
We also planted two dozen red sweet potato starts and a dozen or so cucumber plants. These are deer crack, so we had to deer proof them with Irish Spring soap and hot pepper powder.
Making lemonade out of lemons, we tilled up the spot where the old car was sitting, and planted more pumpkins and a few melon seeds. We had to cover it with chicken wire because, chickens.
One non garden item this week, we made a fresh gallon of laundry detergent.
We got our first strawberry. Christmas jam is officially underway.
We added another picture of Serendipity, because we're still excited to be camper owners again.
We ended the week with a nap.
