I love your farming posts. Gonzo and Gizmo are darling. You need to write a children’s book about them ( in all your spare time). Those baby horses (foals) are so darling. Nothing like babies whether human or animal. My youngest child is expecting a baby. We are so excited to have a new baby in the family.

Our garden had a late start because of a cold Spring. Our tomatoes are coming on. We thought we would try canning tomato soup this year. Have you ever dried sliced tomatoes.? They could be ground up to put into soups. They dry great. We raise roma tomatoes . They make great sauces and salsa. My husband put tomato baskets above our acorn squash. It grows up over the top so it doesn’t take over the whole garden. It helps but it is still all over the garden. Our garden looks like a jungle. We are still getting green beans. The carrots are looking good as is the peppers. Our peach tree is still ripening. Awaiting my favorite fruit . I make a fabulous peach pie. It is my favorite pie.

The nights are starting to cool down here in beautiful Idaho. The farmers will starting potato harvest soon. My dad was a potato farmer. Nothing like slicing up a raw potato freshly dug. Peel it first then salt and pepper. Yum.

Have a great day.
