summer garden

Summer's in full swing, the garden is doing amazingly well and the weather is gorgeous. I guess that's one of the reason why we have such a bumper crop of everything this year. Here is just a little sneak peek ..... I have so many pictures I want to share with you, trips, events, and fun stuff, but the time is precious and I am spending every little bit enjoying the outdoors. I hope you are doing the same, have a wonderful week!

Leto je v plnem proudu, zahrada vypada uzasne, vsechno roste a uroda letos je a bude uzasna. Zasluhu na tom ma jiste i letosni nadherne pocasi. Tak tedy alespon par fotek ze zahradky. Chtela bych se s vami podelit i o ty z vyletu, rodinych seslosti a tak dale ale casu je malo a ja vyuzivam kazdou chvilku kterou muzu k tomu uzit si tohle nadherne rocni obdobi. Verim, ze si to uzivate i vy a preji vam krasny tyden!

Az se zima zepta......

Asi jsem se zblaznila ale letos jsem uz zpracovala (kompoty,dzemy,drene,catni,nakladana zelenina) :

27kg tresni (a vsechny vypeckovala)
40kg broskvi
10kg svestek
18kg hrusek
20kg boruvek
30kg okurek
20kg zelenych fazolek
11kg cervene repy

Na zitrek mam nachystany dalsi 11kg pytel cervene repy.Ted nam zacinaji dozravat jablka,z tech delam jablecnou dren a most a pak uz jen nalozit zeli.Pri nakupu bio ovoce a zeleniny (neco je z nasi zahradky) z mistnich zdroju vime ze nekonzumujeme chemicky osetrene plody a ja si rikam,ze se vsechna ta prace s tim spojena vyplati.

I must be crazy but this year I already processed (jams,relishes,can fruits and pickled veggies) :

60 lbs cherries

90 lbs peaches

20 lbs plums

40 lbs pears

45 lbs blueberries

65 lbs cucumbers

45 lbs green beans

25 lbs red beets

I have one more 25 lbs bag of red beets waiting for me to do tomorrow.The apples are ripening in the garden.I usually make apple sauce and juice and after that I'll make sauerkraut. When you buy(some we grow) organic fruits and veggies locally I think that at the end all this work is worth it.
