After having a play day on Friday, Saturday was a productive day at the farm. Tim and George spent the morning down in the Orchard taking down more walls from the raised beds that were built a few years ago and they finished the last section of the fence along our driveway. It looks great! Meanwhile, Lisa and I spent the day canning. We started out working on the tomatoes. This time we made Salsa and a couple of quarts of tomatoes. Then we moved to pickles. There were over 50 cucumbers so we decided to make a double batch of bread and butter pickles. We used over 30 cucumbers and ended up making 12 pints and quarts of bread and butter pickles. Lisa also made her creamy cucumber salad which was delicious. She made a double batch so I could have some leftovers. We grilled pork chops and fresh green beans together and had a nice evening sitting out on the deck, enjoying a good meal and a great view with good friends.
This morning we are going down to the orchard and see how much more we will be canning soon. We did pick some cantaloupe the other day. We are just waiting for it to get ripe. I know they will be good. Later today we will continue working on the what ever we pick from the orchard. It is going to be just another day at the farm.
