Sew Miss Oz

Here is a picture of 1 of my plants I got in my garden. I really didn’t think I would ever get my garden in this year with all the rain. We had lots of flooding in this area, my mother-in-law’s town was one that was evacuated giving me her extra company here for a few days. My mother-in-law was lucky, her residence set up high enough that it wasn’t one of the homes flooded. As far as my gardening went I bought all my plants, then the rain came! I kept them alive in my husband’s workshop, bringing them out a few hours a day for sun, getting them back inside before more rain. My darling husband had the garden area all tilled ready for my plants when the rain started, when it dried out enough I just had to run a couple of quick easy passes with the tiller to loosen the dirt back up.

I planted 3 cucumber plants (need to put up more pickles & relish), 1 watermelon plant, 1 cantaloupe plant, 1 egg plant, 1 pumpkin (need those jack-o-lanterns), 6 tomato plants, 4 bell pepper plants. All those tomato plants will definitely keep me busy in a few months. I generally can up my tomatoes as just cut tomatoes, then when cooking later will use them to make many different things like spaghetti sauce, hmmm.
