One:
On Sunday, I was teaching my husband how to bottle the tomatoes. It went well. We picked the celebrity and roma tomatoes from the vine and immediately prepared them for canning. We got 4 quarts of canned tomatoes from this batch.



Two:
I have shipped these to the customer:


The customer loved them and put in another order of 8 small fitteds and 12 large fitteds.

Three:
Finished the rainbow baby blanket:


Time to start another baby project.

The grape tomatoes needed to be harvested. A lot of them are ripe and there are still vines on orange ones out there.


Tonight's harvest.

There are a few more green peppers ripening, too. Fajitas? Yes!

Yesterday, Sarah and I picked yarns for our baby blanket. She picked rainbow colors. I started crocheting the blanket last night and so far, this is what I got:



Why don't I crochet more? It's SO quick!

We went to Dexter Blueberry Farm again today to pick our first batch of blueberries for this year. It's at $1.60 per pound this year. There is a lot out there begging to be picked. If you live in the area, we strongly recommend this farm for blueberries picking. It's huge and clean. We picked enough to make a couple of batches of jam, a few blueberry pies, miscellaneous cooking and baking, and for munching.

I have washed and dried them. I have one blueberry pie cooling on the counter, a couple of bags of pie filling measured and in the freezer, a couple of bags for miscellaneous use in the freezer, a batch of jam already in their half pint jars, sealed and cooling and another batch of jam cooking on the stove. I put some berries in a container in the fridge for munching.


A batch of jam cooking.

This is the blueberry jam without pectin recipe that I used last year. We really liked it, so I made it again for this year's reserve.


The first batch sealed and cooling.

Ah... I just heard the first loud ping from the jars. Sweet. Oh..there goes another!

The garden is doing well. Everything is growing. We have a few eggplants bearing fruits. We have two cabbages of decent sizes. I have one zucchini log and a few smaller ones. And cucumbers.

We also have a lot of grape tomatoes ripening. The celebrity tomatoes are growing like granny smith apples or golden deilicious apples sizes. They're huge.

We have to thank the lady who lived here about 2-3 decades ago. She worked the soil well. We haven't fertilized nor spray anything on these plants. It's all in the soil.









Other than gardening, I have been sloooowwwwwly working on the diapers orders that I have. Received another sizeable order since last week. I'll be mailing these out tomorrow so that'd make room for the new order.



For this order, the customer sent in the fabrics and 5 diaper cut outs that she had. She asked me to sew them for her. :)
