But do remember that most canned items will be good waaaay beyond the "use by" date stamped on the can.<br /><br />It's been really hot here, too, but we're also getting a lot of humidity and heavy, heavy dew each night which I think does help to keep the garden from burning up. We did set up the sprinkler though a day or so ago and the plants definitely appreciated it. Most times keeping things growing at the end of the season is hard.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-87838232093231717592015-09-05T08:23:05.693-05:002015-09-05T08:23:05.693-05:00I was given 12 cans of evaporated milk with a very...I was given 12 cans of evaporated milk with a very close use by date, can you freeze evaporated milk or can it.<br />My garden is totally gone. I did replant some cucumbers, their up but not growing much. It's so hot and dry here that we have not mowed for awhile.<br />I just love the Blue Salvia. I need to plant more next year.<br />Have a great week end!!!<br />Sue<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-70019104344884769172015-09-03T14:48:22.645-05:002015-09-03T14:48:22.645-05:00Susan - I shall sprinkle fairy dust on my garden s...Susan - I shall sprinkle fairy dust on my garden shoes, I will be transported and when you come home after work today your garden will be weed free!

There's such satisfaction in seeing a neat, clean garden. Now if I could just hire someone to plant seeds for me . . . that's the part of gardening where you can't see anything when you're done. I'm always sure I've planted too deep or too shallow and nothing will germinate. Silly, I know, since I've been at this gardening thing for 50-some years and am most often fairly successful!<br /><br />Wishing you a good Labor Day Weekend, too, no matter how you choose to celebrate.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-11144806792856459372015-09-02T11:41:34.153-05:002015-09-02T11:41:34.153-05:00Twelve weeders?

Not always so though. :o(Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-5745218218693328032015-09-02T06:31:43.521-05:002015-09-02T06:31:43.521-05:00Where's the WEEDS?

The cherry tomatoes are good, but nothing beats a big slicer. <br />Have a good week!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
