Saving the seeds from the annuals

As the annuals have gone to seed we have chopped them and we will plant them into pots in March.  This is a great way to let you favorite flowers live forever.

Hurricane Lee drops 8 inches and tons of wind on Knoxville

It has been a crazy 24 hours - it started yesterday afternoon and it is still raining.  We have been inside all day and cooking comfort food - mexican cheesy potatoes with porkchops!  I made a ginger glaze to go over the chops very easy.  If you'd like the recipes just let me know. 

Jon weathered the rain and went out and picked 6 purple peppers that we wanted to keep on the plant until next weekend - the plant broke so he brought in the peppers.  Will make stuffed peppers later in the week.

Time to go to work tomorrow - ugh in the rain - it's not expected to stop until Thursday!  Stay Dry!

Peppers, Tomatoes and Herbs still producing in September!

This summer has been very hot but the garden results have been fantastic!  We still have purple and green peppers to harvest plus new flowers are on the plants.  The basil has been prolific and the tomatoes are still producing a few fruit.  We probably have another couple of weeks for the tomatoes.

For fall we have planted, peas, beans, carrots, onions, spinach, lettuce and radishes.  Next week we will show you how they are coming up.

Today is all about Hurricane Lee.  We have had six inches of rain so far since yesterday - crazy!!  It's raining to hard to take a pic - you can imagine.
