Garden Time

It's that time of year again when we start picking fresh veggies from our garden.  Ronnie works so hard each year plowing, planting and tending and he's so proud when we start eating out of the garden.  Here is a picture of our first new potatoes he dug this afternoon for supper.  Do you know when the potatoes are ready?  It's when the plant that has grown out of the earth dies and turns brown.  He dug up 3 dead plants and got a full gallon bucket full.  There is still 79 more plants to dig.  I think we will have a bummer crop again this.  I wash and cut in half.  Melt a stick of butter in a pan and put the potatoes in the butter with a little salt and steam them about 20-25 minutes.  They are so good.  

I noticed we also have tiny squash, greenbean, peppers and tomatoes too.  It won't be long before I will be canning and enjoying all the goodness.
Until later,
