Maybe I should have stuck to gardening when I got home. lol. We had to leave early this morning so the tent and tarps were wet when we packed up the car. Got home and set the tent up to dry out before folding it back up and putting it into bag. Well, the tent frame decided to spring shut with my two fingers between the two metal pieces. We couldn’t for the life of us get the frame to open back up. I literally had to pull my fingers out from the very tightly clamped frame, hurt like crazy and is now throbbing. Thankful the pain has subsided some, just throbbing on a scale of 1-10, maybe a 2 or 3. So next time, I think I’ll leave the tent to the hubby and I’ll go do some gardening. lol.

I am on vacation this week so away from my gardens. Hoping we had a bit of rain at least while I’m gone. Luckily I’m only gone three and a half days so I’ll definitely water tomorrow if we’ve not had rain at home. How is everyone’s harvesting going? Anyone doing any preservation with their harvests? I won’t have enough of anything to really preserve. But I’m hoping to hit the local farm to get tomatoes to can up this year as I have used all I canned a couple years ago. Anyone care to share their favorite TESTED Safe tomato recipes you will be using?I’ve never canned anything other than stewed tomato’s and plain tomatoes really as I’ve always been afraid to not do it right. But I really would like to give it a shot this year. Wish Mrs Wagers still had the taco sauce mix my mom used to can when I was growing up.

Harvest: greek oregano, sweet basil and mint, chocolate mint, comfrey, lemongrass … And a little parsley... I got too hot to do the rest of it.
