Hot sauce

https://www.scratchpantry.com/recipes/easy-homemade-hot-sauce

Sam and I made our annual hot sauce today. We used the above recipe. We doubled the recipe. We made a few changes to the recipe. We used 12 oz jalapeno and 12 oz sugar rush peach peppers. We did 7 cloves of medium sized garlic. We did 2 cups white vinegar and 2 cups apple cider vinegar. We used 3 tbsp lemon juice.

While Sam and I were making the hot sauce, Grace and Katie put up our fall decorations.  We had a really fun day!

Very excited to taste it. Hopefully it will be good.

Garden

Good morning everyone! Here are a few garden pictures. So far everything is looking good. We have harvested all the broccoli,  just waiting on the shots to grow out for one last harvest. We have 3 cabbage plants remaining.

The beans are looking good and so are the tomatoes.

The squash and zucchini are just starting to come in. The peppers in front of the zucchini are hot peppers, Jalapeno and Sugar Rush Peach.

Patty pan squash in the grow bag, sunflowers that are looking beautiful and 2 cherry tomatoes behind the sunflowers.

An experiment, trying to grow a few ears of corn in one of the new raised beds.

Okra in the other raised bed. Also new to us, purple peas on both sides of the arch.
They are beautiful!
Cucumbers are just starting to come in!
Look at all the bloom on this tomato!
I’ve  never grown tomatillo before but this look really good. Lots of bloom and fruit already set. I am looking forward to making salsa verde with these.
I have flowers planted all over the garden just for pretty!

That’s all for today. God bless!

Seed Starting

Good morning everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all have a great day.

Today is exciting for me as I am starting the first of the 2024 garden seeds!

The cabbage seeds I started,

Broccoli and

Peppers!

I also wanted to share my newest garden bed I made.  I really like it! I will be making another one just like it to go on the other side of the table and chairs.

I finished Grace’s hat. I am giving it to her as a valentine’s day gift. I made the pom pom myself. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Jess sent me this picture of Daniel the other day. Just look at how grown up he looks!

God bless!

A Great Deal

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a good day.

I wanted to share what a great deal we got yesterday. I am planning on building two new raised beds this year up in the garden. We went over to Christiansburg to Home Depot to get some supplies I needed for the raised beds. And we found this!!!

I could not believe it! I never come across this type of savings.

We got 10 bags of the soil❤ also got the other supplies I needed and

Grace got us some paint for the kitchen. I also stopped by Dollar Tree and got some flower seeds.

We ended our trip with a treat.

God bless!
