Last of the snap peas

Yes all good things come to an end. I didn't really get a lot from my peas this year but they were still good. One night that's all we had just snap peas. They were blanched a little and then they were served! It was a good meal.

7lbs of green beans

The beans are ready again,. So i picked and picked and picked 7lbs total. Why did i plant so many. I am going to give them out at school those guys are starving for food. Well i guess they eat but don't turn down free food.

My First Cabbage

My first cabbage is ready and she is coming out of the ground! It was starting to split and so i asked glen my father in law who has grown many and has eaten a few is she ready? He first said no you pick them in the fall. I asked but if it is splitting should i pick it ? yes he said so she came out. My first cabbage 5lbs so handsome i don't even want to eat her but i am going to. My wife wants to make cabbage rolls and my mother in law wants to make coleslaw. What ever is made i think it will be good.

The Last of the Spinach


It's the last of my spinach and it looks good. My mother n law likes to boil it for about 10 minutes. I have never boiled it before just steamed. She did this last night and it was very good. When we have steamed the spinach they did tasteda little bitter but not when you boil it.
