Cecil on his knees, two fold :o) Thanking God for this crop and picking the first fall crop of Broccoli Rabe (they were planted September 5th) :o)The greens were happy to see the rainfall and grew ..like we say "out of the box" :o) We couldn't wait to taste them..they didn't get the little blossoms on them, but who wanted to wait :o)...You see the little white pan..he picked two of them for my big red pot..and I made a pan of my "Special Corn Bread" ( with everything in it :o)  and we munched until we were full as two little pigs.
This pan is not showing how many greens were picked, but it's two pans squashed down and I used that big red pot to put them into for cooking..this is my harvest for this week.. I'm beginning to think there is no end to canning :o).. I haven't stopped yet!

  4. Actually, I wish I could do all my canning in cool weather. The greens look lovely. And so does the beginning of your hoop house.

  6. Daisy, it was quite a bounty :o) and we had enough for two meals with cornbread too:o)

    Robin, when I think I'm done something else shows up :o) but I'm not complaining, it's all a gift :o)

    Eggs in My Pocket..the only way to get better is more of it :o)

    Leigh, as long as we have something to can who really cares how hot or cold it gets :o) That hoop house held my tomatoes during Spring and Summer with a net over it...I took the net off for now :o) I'm trying to think of a way to combine the two boxes into a makeshift greenhouse :o)

    Mrs. Pickles, the taste was good and we are glad the greens grew so well in the box..We are trying our best to grow what we like to eat..
