Update

It has been too long since I wrote last...we are well in the middle of harvesting and it's wonderful!  I planted a second crop of peas, beets and onions (we should get those next spring) around August 1.  We also have a second crop of corn at Stick's house, I'm crossing my fingers it will be ready in time.

The watermelon vines all shriveled and died, but it looks like the watermelons have survived, even though they are pretty small.  Not sure what happened.   The corn is really good, but most of it has worms...I need to do some research to find out why.  Luckily they stick to the top, so they are still usable, but it would be nice not to have them.

So far this year, I have bottled apricots, apricot nectar, pickled beets, cherries, and beans.  I've frozen raspberries, made raspberry, apricot and strawberry freezer jam, and soon I'm going to undertake pumpkin, tomatoes, and salsa.  I'm excited :)
