Something tried chewing a little sliding door off of the chicken coop last night and I'm guessing it's a raccoon that we aren't having much luck luring into the live trap.
We are about ready to pull our Zucchini. We have frozen some cooked, canned some as relish, pickles, sliced with mixed veggies and today we're going to put up some Spicy Corn and Zucchini Salsa.

Time to let Thor sleep outside the coop.

Oh man I missed dinner at your place yesterday?!Graphic Warning for the Texans - this Chili has beans in it.
Today was a fairly lengthy lawn mowing day so I came in around 1:00 and started a pot of pulled pork chili to have for supper with some corn bread.

It sure looks yummy! And I'll eat chili with or without beans.

We got another 6 pounds of Concorde Grapes this afternoon and that just about finishes them off. The birds got a share but surprisingly didn't take many. We wasn't sure we could grow the Concords here since nobody around has them but they did well.

Yeah we northerners are a bit less discriminating.

Concord grape juice is my favorite. I should plant some! Your grapes look delicious.

Teresa said she has enough now to make a half dozen jars of jelly. The last batch she made tasted like candy even though she doesn't use sugar.
We put up enough tomatoes today that we already have enough for the season when added to the stores already done. The heat has most of the determinant tomatoes not putting on any new fruit so I'm going to pull those to make room for the 4 tomato plants I cloned last month. They are rooted good already and ready to go into the ground for our fall tomatoes. I need to clean out the shelters so there should be enough sheep manure to add to the bed and work it in first.

I was in the garden this morning with the water hose at 6:30. I watered everything good, hopefully it will survive the 100+ degree weather we are having.

We decided this year to not try and beat the heat but adjust to it. I planted over 20 tomato plants so we got more than enough to can and I can baby a few to keep them going through the heat and plant a few more to have fresh tomatoes this fall. I got tire of fighting with squash vine borers so I also planted enough squash to put up what we need and then pull the plants.
