Encouragement

Despite the trials and difficulties with the gardening, the harvest from 9-2-2012 was very encouraging. Shannon has done more canning this year than ever before which has also been encouraging.

The harvest from earlier this week was 2 lb-14 oz of beans, 6 oz of peppers, 3 lb-12 oz of summer squash, and 21 lb-6 oz of tomatoes!  At the community garden where we volunteer, we weigh everything and record it.  Maybe it is worth doing in our garden for a year to year comparison?
Bounty of Encouragement!

On another note, we got a load of horse manure to add to our beds for next year.  Thanks Mom and Dad for the use of your truck and trailer!
