I go over to North Carolina, to the discount grocery store, and buy it by the case. I can usually get it there for between ten cents and twenty five cents a can. I have to buy a good bit when they have it because it doesn't come in that often.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-84156064418264859272014-08-03T07:46:04.310-06:002014-08-03T07:46:04.310-06:00Linda,

I've run out of pint jars early this year (which is what I like to put up peppers in the best) So I've had to use quart jars. I don't like using them for peppers because Mars has at least 3-4 different kinds open at the same time. *sigh* Most years I'll plant at least some sort of sweet peppers like banana peppers. I didn't grow any this year. Just a couple of different kinds of bell peppers. Those I dehydrate and use once the fresh ones are gone. I'm going to be drying some of the peppers in that big bucket today.<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Sci<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-16558649368924036232014-08-02T19:31:50.205-06:002014-08-02T19:31:50.205-06:00I have those flowers.

They have three names--Naked Lady, Resurrection Lily, and ) Drat it, I forgot the last name). Naked Lady comes from the fact that there is no foliage when they bloom. Resurrection Lily is because the foliage completely dies back and practically disappears and then the one lone stem comes up, seemingly from a dead plant.

Probably because I've heard they aren't easy to start. I think I have some onion seed that came in a survival seed vault (can't remember the name of the company) as a gift a few years ago. I don't know how long the seed are viable but it can't hurt to try them anyway.<br /> Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll dig them out of my seed stash and see what happens.<br />Drop by anytime, Coffees on the stove and the cookies are on the counter.<br />SciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-50013911599471221002014-08-01T22:36:55.008-06:002014-08-01T22:36:55.008-06:00About the onions: couldn't you use seed trays ...About the onions: couldn't you use seed trays to start seeds about now? A packet each of red, white, yellow and sweet (Vidalia I guess for you). Then transplant into your garden in late fall for a crop next year. And then in Jan/Feb do the same for a fall crop. Got to be cheaper than bulbs or sets. By the way, I really enjoy your blog.

Bermuda grass is truly evil. We've been digging all that out every time it pops up. If it gets too bad Mars will till it up and then we go through it and pull or dig every weed (including the bermuda) out. He's also been tilling around the edges of the garden so we'll have like a barrier. It's taken a bunch of work but it gets better easier every year. We've been blessed with a very unusual garden season too. Much cooler temps have made it so much easier to work out there and we've not had to actually water much at all this year. <br />Sorry yours has been so terrible. Hopefully it will be better next year.<br />Sci<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-72093880720962866912014-08-01T09:31:43.580-06:002014-08-01T09:31:43.580-06:00Susan,

I really haven't been swamped with canning like I have the past couple of years. I've felt exactly the same way about putting in a fall garden. It's hard to get the "want to" in 100F temps. <br />This year though I've only had one canner run of green beans. They are just now looking like they are going to really take off. Same with the other beans and peas out there. So I'm thinking I'll take a shot at a fall garden this year. <br />SciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-74977642835650210602014-07-31T22:05:56.208-06:002014-07-31T22:05:56.208-06:00Your garden is still beautiful.

Why is it that countries around the world have been saying NO to GMO yet we are inundated with it. In the feed we give our livestock to the very food we eat, it is everywhere. I can't imagine that there are folks that still think it's some sort of conspiracy, and yet there are. *sigh*<br />SciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-3053415717762744482014-07-31T09:51:23.960-06:002014-07-31T09:51:23.960-06:00Sandy,

The Orange day lillies unfortunately just last a few days and are gone. The pink ones grow on a straight stalk and have no leaves, just a stalk sticking up out of the ground. It seems to me that there must have been a flower lover who lived here once. Of course I'm only guessing as there is no real way to know.<br /> I've been enjoying this rain. It's been more like a sort of a mist since yesterday morning and they say it will stop this afternoon. Looks like they really had no idea what they were talking about though because they were calling for an inch or two. I have to remind myself that T Town is fourty miles northwest of us so I don't call the weathermen very accurate to our situation.<br /> You spied the squash!! hehehe Well it IS squash the problem is that it's a pile of that "orange" squash that is tough to cut, much less eat. I've been doling it out to the rabbits and the chickens. Not all the rabbits actually like it though so the getting rid of it is taking longer than expected. It seems most of the yellow squash has this weirdness. I've been able to get enough good stuff to fry, steam and bake but not enough to can. I've got a couple trays in the dehydrator but need to do a few more trays before all the plants succumb to the squash vine borer knock them all off day by day. <br /> I just love stuffed jalapeno's! Cream cheese and bacon yummmmy. To bad the bacon is over 4 bucks a freaking package and heading higher. grrrrr....<br /> The corn was Mars' to mess with. He was worried that they might not have been grown close enough, but they were. And boy are they tasty!<br /> You know it's funny. We have a wide variety of birds who live around here. Knock on wood but they have never targeted anything in the garden except bugs. Sorry to hear they are enjoying yours so much!! Especially those big beauties!<br /> Hugs to you and yours and a belly rub for the Mr Bean.<br />SciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-63499873405292091962014-07-31T09:23:22.798-06:002014-07-31T09:23:22.798-06:00JPD I'm so glad that you are enjoying yourselv...JPD I'm so glad that you are enjoying yourselves.
