My beehive kit has arrived! Just need to put it together, paint it and wait for my bees to show up! 
Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes!

What are you eating from your garden this winter?
Getting ready for a long winters nap? Tonight is our first freeze of the season so I dug up some rosemary, chives and thyme. Also shredded a big batch of sage and cut more to dry.
Picked all of my tomatoes. Have windows full of green tomatoes that will ripen into the month....or there is always fried green tomatoes! My entire garden is still flowering! It's crazy!!
Also picked the rest of my jalapeños and kale. I'm thinking about a party next weekend with jalapeño poppers, kale chips, fried green beans, fried green tomatoes and caprese salad with tomatoes, mozzarella, and homemade pesto! Oh ya, can't forget chipotle dip! I hate the end of garden season but love looking forward to a winter full of great food from the garden. If you are not already preserving your gardens for winter make some of it your goal for next years crop. If you are, let me know what you are wintering and how! Damn I'm inspiring myself....I think I will go out and pick some mint and turn it into mint ice cubes for all if those holiday cocktails ahead!

Red Peppers
Did you know that red peppers contain more vitamin C than any other vegetable? I mince, slice and cut my peppers in chunks before freezing them for different recipes. 
Fall Lunch Crop
Kale, romain & Boston lettuce growing strong in my fall crop this year! I love eating my yard every day for lunch!Monday, July 21, 2014
Freeze Warning!
Freezing my tomatoes this year instead if canning! Just put in boiling water for 30 seconds, transfer to ice water, peel & core the stem then just freeze! Much easier than canning and you just take what you need for soups, chili or whatever else. I also did two big bags of beans and zucchini. Almost can't wait for winter to try it all!!!
