Rural/Farm Life

I put the garden in a week late, because of the weather, and the truth is, the tomatoes have barely progressed, at all. I have a few blossoms but I'm resigning myself to a failed crop. I do have a nice pepper, on one of those plants, and the peppers look healthy, as do the Summer Squash (although they are far behind, in growth).

We've had a few days of relatively dry weather, and it is supposed to be sunny and in the high 80's, today. But, more rain is in the forecast.

I'm stocking up on canned corn, stewed and diced tomatoes, at Aldi's, and will probably buy some tomatoes from our local Farmer's Market, so I can have a close to home grown supply, in the freezer, for Winter soups and stews. I'm also going to stock up on dried beans and lentils.
