Harvest
Our second round of strawberries is coming on now. It is perfect timing since our blueberry bushes have been stripped down to green. The girls spend some time every day searching the bushes for shades of red.
With rain in the forecast the rest of this week we decided to begin harvesting our potatoes. We focused on the dark ones last night. We gathered about 9 pounds before it got too dark.
We are going to get a second bid on our small remodel project. We had planned to have it all complete before school starts, but it is looking like our house will be upturned just when classes begin again. A friend pointed out this morning that all our Romas are likely to ripen during that same time period, so I will need to be canning from dawn to dusk. I can't wait (for it to be over)!
