My blog is turning into a Vlog (video blog)... and I've got another video for you! Seems like the only things I'm doing these days is taking care of John and gardening. I do have something that has slowed the blogging lately, but more on that a little further down.
Right now, I've got a video of our produce. John is featured at the beginning, but that's clearly for grandparent's sake.
I've made tomato sauce (turned out excellent!) with the tomatoes in the video and about half of those green tomatoes turned into fried green tomatoes. Although the tomatoes look a little rough it's been our best tomato year yet. We really wanted them to ripen on the vines, but I think we will have to invest in a net to keep the birds out. A friend's husband built a frame out of pvc and used to irrigate their garden... they also used the pvc to hold up a net. Smart. Really Smart.
Anyway. This will probably be the last gardening update for the spring for us. One because it's getting really hot and everything is starting to burn up. And number two leads into the reason blogging has turned into Vlogging (because making a video is so much faster for me then sitting down and writing a post).
We're moving!
Not blogs (our web address will still be the same), but to a house across town.
We've been looking into it for several reason... nothing bad or terribly wrong with our current place, but God put the idea in our lap and didn't remove it... even when I thought it was gone several times. It's a pretty long story that I will probably only share in person, but I'm telling everyone out in my little blogging world so you will know what happened to the gardens and the main reason I'm going to put blogging on hold for a while.
Losing the gardens is kinda sad consequence of moving, but we're moving to a place closer to Steven's work and that is a huge plus. In addition, the place we are moving has a large backyard as well. It will take some work but MAYBE I'll have some fall tomatoes & squash going. Hopefully I'll have time to do a pumpkin patch... but the pumpkins may come in for Christmas instead of Halloween. Anyways, those are all BIG maybes because I've got a lot of work to do packing up our current place and I may just want to sit down and relax for like a month once we get everything settled. And then the fall garden window may be closed. We'll see.
More to come, I promise... just not any time soon.
Good luck in the moving process! I've enjoyed watching your gardening and John milestones and know that if God put moving on your heart, your garden will come too (although perhaps not right away).
ReplyDeleteLove you lots, girl. Still thinkin' 'bout you. :) God bless!
Those are such cute little John sized watermelon. The only thing we've gotten so far is lettuce. Supposedly the beets will be ready to pull up tomorrow but they still seem small. I'm not sure if I should trust the calender or not.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that you'll be losing your garden but excited to hear (and see through videos) your new place eventually. Good luck moving and take it slow, I did the whole moving with a baby thing and it wears you out but it can be done.
