Big News and some notes as well

Last night, Magun and I went over to the Summer Garden and picked some tomatoes. I must say the Arkansas Traveler is a strong producer. We will definitely plant those again next year. Buddy the Amazing Farm Dog came along and stood guard. We checked the beans, corn, okra, cucumbers, eggplant and melons. Magun discovered a Moon and Stars Watermelon. It is small but surely does have a moon on it. When we got back home, there was some more canning done. We have been fortunate to have some gorgeous zucchini come from the Home Garden. Last night, we made a dozen half pint jars of sweet zucchini relish. It is supposed to be a lot like pickle relish and it sure did smell and look good--so we will keep our fingers crossed for some good relish this fall. Now for the Big News, I rode around with my Little Buddy--my father-in-law Dick Simons--and looked at some vacant properties owned by the Land Bank. We are acquiring six plots of land close to our house and will be establishing community gardens for the neighborhoods. These will be self-sustaining with the bounty going to the neighbors!!! Go Treehugger Organics!!!
