Then, there are those things we already have established: red and black raspberries, asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, pears and sour cherries. We also have eight apple trees and four peach trees that were two years old when we planted them a year ago.
Ok. So, does that sound do-able with a newborn? Please pray for us. Or at least come when we call and cart produce away when we're swimming in it.

Oh Gen,
ReplyDeleteGardening with a newborn! I remember our sweet corn was in full swing when Isis was born. I was exhausted and hysterical. I cursed at Chris and told him he could throw it all in the cow field for all I cared. :) I will pray that you have better coping (and social) skills than I did. You guys will do fine. You are amazing.
I just read your "Why we do what we do" section. Makes perfect sense to me! And I was wondering...would you be willing to share your pickled beet recipe? They are one of my all-time favorites and I'm going to grow beets specifically to pickle them! You can email me directly if you'd like...moonshinelane@aol.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBecky, thank you for your prayers. We will need them:-).
ReplyDeleteMichelle, here is the link to the pickled red beets recipe (also in my Recipe Index):)
