That's what I miss in the summer when I'm outside all the time . . . someone in my kitchen to create wonderful meals with all the fresh garden produce!

(Hope I don't have to do that again soon, I missed it so much.) Just came in from planting a 4 x 8' bed of onions. Two more to go to fulfill our quota of onions for the year.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-22330670262104336822013-05-15T15:17:14.729-05:002013-05-15T15:17:14.729-05:00Tombstone Livestock - You're picking peas and ...Tombstone Livestock - You're picking peas and I'm working on where to place the trellises in the field garden for them this year!
