Stop for just a second. Just stop. These next four

Stop for just a second. Just stop. These next four squares are the labor of our hard work. Then we broke bread together and enjoyed it. Amen.

🍗 Smoke homegrown chicken
🥬 Garden kale, scapes, and elephant garlic with Balsamic vinegar drizzle
🍅 Tomato conserve from last year's garden harvest
🍞 Homemade bread for dipping in said tomato conserve.
.
This isn't the fanciest meal. Nor is it a 5 star meal. What this is, my friends, is the reward for the labor we put into this homestead and food ownership.

When I'm creating content I ALWAYS fact check my work...it just so happens that the resource I use comes from my book! 😂😂😂
.
The publishing house fact checks content prior to going to print. The info in my book is current and accurate according to the NCHFP. My poor copy has been beat up!

Look who's growing snap peas in July? This girl right here! I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. 😂 It looks like I might as well sow the fall garden now instead of waiting until the end of July. But then again, August can flip and we run into a hot spell. 2020 you sure are keeping me on my toes with change and being flexible.

There is still 25 heads in the ground (they popped up pretty late) but here's to a beautiful garlic harvest! Over 100 heads and I'm a happy camper. Fermented garlic, pickled garlic, and lots of garlic for cooking. If I get to harvest anything this year I'm thankful it was the garlic.

Justin is going to be performing a tune-up on my freeze dryer and we will be back in business! Life has gotten away from me and sweet Tiffany sat unused for a few months! It is time to whip her into shape, especially since it looks like I won't have much room in the freezer soon!

This is what I call discarded garlic. I have such

This is what I call discarded garlic. I have such a hard time not using all the cloves when I plant garlic in the fall. What do I do with them? I plant them in various spots around the garden as a pest deterrent. Out of the 50ish cloves, which many would not consider planting, I received 25 nice size heads of softneck garlic. That's 25 heads of garlic which I had not planned for! I'll get this batch cured in time for the big harvest.

Let me whine freely for a moment without being jud

Let me whine freely for a moment without being judged.
.
This growing season sucks for those of us who reside in the wettest part of the country. We are suffering with extreme amounts of rain, lack of sun, and slugs and snails destroying everything in their path.
.
In addition to this, our bodies need vitamin D. Guess what our bodies are NOT getting? You guessed it. The coastal side of the PNW is depressing. Frustrating. Irritating. And makes me count the days until we sell the property and begin our new adventure.
.
Now, let me put my big girl pants on. This too shall pass. These last few months have taught me much, have humbled me, have given me the drive to do more.
.
To do more. When we think we could not give any more we do. This leads us to understand more, be more appreciative and humble.
.
Today, this bowl of berries will be shared between us and appreciated by all. This is what life is about.
