Local Cherries went on sale this week .99 cents a lb.
We canned 14 pints and feed some to the chickens. We had no idea that chickens liked cherries. Those birds are getting very comfortable in their new home and around us. Anytime one of us goes near the eglu they come running in hopes that we have a little treat for them. But yeah know, I’d like a little treat too. HOW ABOUT AN EGG!!!
Spotted banana sale .25 cents a lb, so we bought 25lbs and have been baking banana bread, banana cake, and using the food dehydrator to fill 4 quart bags full of banana chips. Oh and chickens like bananas too. 🙂
The chipmunks must have taken the day off because I was able to pick a few strawberries…..finally.
The girl and I harvested all 24 garlic plants and hung them to dry in the garage. I hope we didn’t pull them up too early.
All in all a good weekend. I told the Handsome Husband to be on alert. I’m hoping for a big pea harvest in the next few days and I need him around to fire up the pressure canner. Not that he {or I for that matter} have ever used one before but I figured he’s better at directions {reading an instruction manual that is, NOT a road map} and if the thing blows up it can be his fault, not mine.
