The Last Jar
The other night, I opened up the last jar of dilly beans that I made last year. Oh my yum, they were perfectly pickled. I'm so sad that I have none left. I can't wait until the pole beans are producing like crazy again so I can start canning. I really would like to can as much of summer as possible this time around! It really makes me realize that I have to expand my vegetable garden. 25 feet by 20 feet just isn't enough space. It really isn't. My entire lot is 50 ft by 300 ft. Now what if I converted the entire thing into an edible landscape? Hmmm, what will the neighbor's think then?

Well, if you were my neighbor I'd think "What a smart girl!" I've seen some very pretty edible landscapes.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I have a couple of dilly green bean jars left. I am however, really low on salsa. NOOOOO!!! Note to self, more salsa this year. Believe me, I've considered tearing up my small back yard and putting in a garden. =0)
ReplyDeleteI've never had pickled dilly green beans before. It sounds like I'm missing out!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy. I hope you get a bumper crop this year. :)
ReplyDeleteMeems, I love the idea of having an edible landscape! I can just picture it... fruit trees, fruit bushes... grape vines... and more places for veggies!
ReplyDeleteHere's a short clip that the Garden Girl did on edible landscapes: http://www.5min.com/Video/Lawns-to-Edible-Landscapes-8010573
Do it! Why grow grass when you can grow food?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elaine. Why grow grass that you have to cut. It's 300' deep? We only have 150' deep. Oh man would I be growing up a storm with that space! You are so fortunate! Make good use of it.
