Small Homestead

I start my new job this morning and I just wanted to write a short note to let everyone know what was going on.  Tonight when I get home I am going to have to wade out into the mud to pick lima beans.  They are going wild.

We have had about 2 or 3 inches of rain overnight so it is going to be wet.  I just can’t put it off any longer.  The lima plants are taking over the garden.  I guess they like the cooler weather.

I am going to be working full time which is great news for the budget and lousy news for the garden.  R can’t get out and pick so I will be picking evenings.  It’s a good thing.

I made soup yesterday with the soup pots I have in the freezer.  I added some frozen tomatoes and some okra.  The okra made it so thick that I can’t simmer it all day but boy is it YUMMY!
