Garden and Life Changes:

Our mean little Bonnie

We have had a lot of changes in our lives this past couple weeks.  In order to share I have to back up in time, just a little, and tell the back story.

Clyde with KAB a couple years ago

When my husband Daniel and I got married, 9 years ago, I had two cats, Bonnie and Clyde.  My husband isn’t really a cat person but he tolerated them for my sake.  Cats really don’t require much except eat, sleep and a little play time when they are young.  When my niece moved from WA state to TN to live with us a few years ago she asked if she could get a cat of her own. We agreed and Dewy joined our family. Within a year my niece moved out to live in a dorm at her college and Dewy stayed with us.  We became a three cat home.  Three cats was a bit more then we bargained for but we couldn’t justify getting rid of Dewy since he was so good with our youngest daughter KAB. The three cats have completely different personalities; Bonnie is extremely moody and bites anyone that comes near her except for me, Clyde is a 26 pound cat that is scared of everything and basically sleeps and eats all day and Dewy is the friendly loving cat that lets KAB do just about anything to him. We were now a family with three cats and that was all we could handle.

Dewy with KAB

Since day one, Daniel told me that he would never get a dog.  He hated dogs and that was where he drew the line in regards to pets.  Anytime the topic of dogs came up it was obvious that it wasn’t a good topic.  Our daughter KAB has recently started wanting to walk the neighborhood every evening with her Daddy.  During these walks she would visit our neighbor who had a black Lab named Max.  She became so attached to Max and would cry when he wasn’t out to play with her. Daniel would come home and tell me all about Kailey and Max and every time I would say “Honey, I can already see that she will be asking for a Dog soon. You may end up giving in.” He always gave me a glance that said ‘not likely’ and went on his way.  Well after a few months of this, he came home one night to tell me about Kailey and Max and I said my normal little comment and he said “well I have been thinking about that, maybe we should get her a dog.”  I about hit the floor.  I couldn’t believe that he caved.  That began the journey to find a dog for KAB.

KAB with Buddy at our first visit.

KAB has special needs and so we thought it would be a good idea to look into a service dog.  Not knowing much about dogs or service dogs, we contacted a local non-profit organization called Smoky Mountain Service Dogs.  They were very helpful in guiding us.  We found that we didn’t need a service dog but a companion dog. Basically another way to say a pet with special training. After many conversations we decided that we would have SMSD’s trainers, who are also personal trainers, help us find the right dog for KAB and when it was found we would have him or her go through a two week boot camp obedience training and then we would have a few specific training classes.  We were warned that the process of find the right dog for KAB cloud take months even a year or move. Within a week we received a call saying that they had the perfect dog for us.  In fact Buddy had been in their care all along. Buddy had been given to them six months prior by a family that was moving out of the area and couldn’t take him with them.  The owners felt that he would make a perfect Drug Detection dog. Heather, our trainer took the dog in and when the owners dropped Buddy off, Heather found that he was obese and needed to get healthy before he could undergo any training.  He is now in perfect shape and ready. When we told Heather what we were looking for, he came to mind.  We scheduled a time to go meet him and within two days, we had Buddy in our home for a week trial period.  It didn’t take a week.  By Sunday we had decided we wanted him and we were ready to have him go through the obedience training. He has been gone for a week now and he comes home next Monday. We are all excited about him joining us.

Prior to having Buddy come for a visit, we had to take Clyde to the Vet to have him put to sleep.  He had gotten so big and unhealthy. We couldn’t get him to lose his weight and after years of struggling he just couldn’t handle it any more and it was time for him to leave us.  Talk about a difficult decision. We knew it was the right decision but it broke my heart.

Back half of the yard that we had just cleaned up and was ready for more garden boxes.

Having Buddy join our family has caused us to rethink the back yard a little. Instead of expanding the garden like we had planned, we are making the back half of the yard his play area.  Its a little bit of a bummer as I wanted to turn that area into more beds and plant berries and grapes.  But a dog is a better option for our family and we can figure out another way to grow the berries and grapes. We have planted the grass and hope that it comes in quickly as Buddy loves to play ball.  This area will be perfect for that.

On the day that we had taken Buddy to the trainer for the two week boot camp obedience training, he jumped our fence and took a walk around our neighbors yards.  It freaked me out so bad. I thought we had lost him, but luckily he was close and we got him back.  However, this little stunt showed us that the four foot fence that we had put in just a month earlier was not going to cut it.  So this last weekend we purchased six foot timbers to raise the height. Just when we thought it was all done and under control changes have to be made.  Well, in my opinion, it will be worth it.

As KAB would say, we have “6 sleeps” before Buddy is home for good and we are ALL happy.

Harvest Monday 10/08/12

The first of our green beans.

Another harvest Monday is upon us and I am reporting the last of our major summer crops.  We harvested the final batch of Asian pears and bell Peppers but we are still producing large batches of jalapenos.  I don’t see the end coming any time soon. They just keep coming and coming.  Good thing I love jalapenos.  The first of our late planted green beans are coming in and we are enjoying beans nightly. Next year I will plant them in spring and late summer so we can have a longer season of beans.  I love home cooked, fresh garden beans. Who doesn’t!

Unfortunately we weren’t able to get any good fall plants from our local garden center but we are enjoying the lettuce that we planted a last month. I am the salad eater in our family so I am enjoying salads for lunch daily and occasionally Daniel will enjoy a dinner salad. Once again I planted far more plants then we needed but so far nothing has gone to waste.

Our potted fruit trees (lemons, limes, blood orange and Kumquat) are having to be moved into the house more often as the weather is getting colder.  The last couple days have definitely felt like fall.  Rainy and cold.  I love fall but hate the dreary over cast days.   Hopefully we will start to see the changing of the leaves soon and really get to enjoy all that fall has to offer.

Beans, gotta love em.

Chard, butter lettuce, city mix and arugula.

Jalapenos, bell peppers and the last of the banana peppers.

The final batch of Asian Pears.

I am sad that I will not have much to report going forward in regards to the garden. The season has ended and the canning supplies have all been put away. My shelves are stocked full with great food for the winter, so I really can’t complain.  During the fall and winter I will try to post some of the canning recipes that I have been promising and hopefully you will find something good that you might want to can next Spring and Summer.

 

Harvest Totals:

Asian Pears: 7 lbs, 8 oz

Banana Peppers: 1 lbs

Green Beans: 4 lbs 3 oz

Green Peppers: 1 lbs

Jalapenos: 3 lbs

Salad Mix Lettuce: 1 lbs 11 oz

I can’t wait to check in and see how everyone else is doing.

Busy, Busy, Busy and Busy Some More: Part 3

Back garden clean up.

When I left you last, Daniel and I had a crazy weekend of working in the yard trying to get things cleaned up for the newspaper to come out and take photos.  We got everything except the watermelon, tomatoes and squash cleaned up as these plants were still producing.  It felt so good to get it cleaned up so early in the season.  I normally skip the fall planting and don’t clean things up until the following spring but getting it cleaned up makes me excited about the fall season.

As I mentioned in my last update, our local newspaper wanted to do a story on our gardens and the photographer was coming on Monday morning to take photos.  The gentlemen arrived and I have to say I was very pleased.  I was really not looking forward to the photographer coming.  I figured they would send some young arrogant guy who would blow in, take a few photos and out he would go.  Well my fears were gone the minute I answered the door and he introduced himself.  He was an older man and was very nice and stuck around for a long time.  He was so complementary of the gardens and the way that we had created balance in the back yard.  I had never thought of that before but he felt we catered to the whole family.  With Daniels workshop, to a family BBQ and dining space on the patio, to a play set for our daughter and my garden, the whole family was provided for.  It’s amazing how people few things.  I liked his thought process. Wish I could say it was planned.  Miles, the photographer, told me all about his history in the field of photography and was such a joy to work with and talk with.  Because the photos belong to the newspaper, I am unable to post them on the blog but if you are interested in viewing them, here is the link.  Knox News Photos

The rest of our week was filled with taking my daughter to the doctor to get a full check up and shots for her first day of school on the following Thursday. We were scrambling around getting her ready and trying to catch our breath after all the craziness of the previous week. Between open house at KAB’s school, doctors, photographers, first day of school and the Editor of the paper coming out to interview me, it was another busy week. However, our craziness was finally coming to an end and we could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Since then, the article came out in the paper, I caught up on my canning, we planted some fall produce and we pulled up the watermelon, tomato and squash plants in the back garden. We have also gotten into the groove with the new school schedule.  Finally we are back to normal. Or normal as we know it . If you are interested in reading the article in the paper here is the link: Knox News Article

Here are a few photos of our fall produce (so far )

We finally used the bed next to the side gate. We planted Lettuce of all kinds along with Swiss chard, dill and basil.

Lettuce & Swiss chard

Fall Cabbage

I finally planted the garlic I had sprouting. I think I waited way too long but we will see how it goes.

The craziness is over and now I can work more on the fall planting and tending to my house. Amazing how all this craziness has prevented me from actually working inside the house and doing the normal duties of the day.

Harvest Monday’s: A Months Worth

Since it is Harvest Monday, I thought I would take a little break from catch up and post our totals for the last few weeks.

It saddens me that I have missed three Harvest Mondays. I love Harvest Mondays. However, with the crazy schedule we have had, I was lucky to get things picked and documented on a piece of paper. For those of you who are new to the blog, Daphne’s Dandelions Hosts Harvest Monday’s and it is a day to show off your harvests, show how you are saving your harvest, or how you are using your harvest. Check out Daphne’s Dandelions blog to see all the other gardeners from around the World who are participating in Harvest Monday.

Yellow, red and green peppers.

On August 6th, my last blog recorded harvest, I showed you all the great peppers I harvested. I mentioned that I picked a lot of the red and yellow peppers before they had turned their proper color. Well the yellow peppers sat on my counter and I could smell this very strong acid smell. I figured that I had picked them too quickly because they just didn’t smell right. Well within the next week a majority of those peppers turned yellow and the red ones turned also. Just like tomatoes they ripen off the vine.

Peppers freezing in the freezer.

I was thrilled. I had beautiful green, red and yellow peppers to enjoy in our relish, cooking and I was able to store a bunch in the freezer.

The last three weeks of harvesting has been the last of the summer crops in the back garden. Although it is nice to start a new season, it is sad to see all the great tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelon, squash, onions and brussel sprouts leave. The front garden and herbs are still going strong so that is good news.

Our watermelons sitting on the counter ripening. At least I hope their ripening

Our watermelons finally produced fruit but so far none have been as sweet as we would have liked. Two of the watermelons were passed on to our friends and family but we kept four for ourselves. Two are currently sitting on the counter ready for family to arrive this weekend. Hopefully they will be sweet. We have had them on the counter ripening for over a week.

Our watermelons were a good size. The largest watermelon was 17 pounds and our smallest was 12 pounds. I am going to venture out and actually make watermelon rind jelly after we cut into them. I will let you know how it turns out. In one of my gardening books it says that this jelly is a must. Watermelons that you get in the store don’t have good thick rinds because they are altered but home grown produce great rinds and are perfect for jelly. If the watermelons themselves are not sweet enough I think I will find a jelly for them too. A friend mentioned that I should cut them and place them in the freezer for a easy snack for our youngest daughter. The cold fruit makes a good fruit pop and the sweetness isn’t noticed as much. I believe that will be done also.

We have had a few more tomatillos come in but not enough to make salsa. I guess we have made all the salsa were going to make this year. Next year I will definitely grow more plants. Daniel has already almost eaten all the Tomatillo salsa I canned. We continue to get an abundance of bell peppers, jalapenos and banana peppers. I used some of the Jalapenos and banana peppers to can some Basil Banana Pepper Jelly/Marinade. I am hoping this is not too hot for Daniel. I hated to see all the peppers go to waste so I got gutsy and made a bunch, 12 pints to be exact. Yikes! It better be good We had over 4 pounds of jalapenos come in so I also bagged a bunch for freezing. They will be good for jalapeno poppers.

If you notice in the photo to the left, we got some of our first pears of the season. This is very exciting as this is our first year. These are Asian Pears and they are a cross between apples and pears. I love these far more then regular pears. The regular ones are too soft for me. The Asian pears have a great crunch to them.

The last of our cucumbers. I wasn’t sad to see them go.

Of course, last but not least was the last (yes, the very last) of the cucumbers. I thought I had the last of the cucumbers on August 6th but it took us another week or so to clean them up, so we got yet another 18 pounds. Yes, you read that right, 18 pounds. You know what I did with those…. Yep more relish. Sadly, because of the craziness around here a lot of them ended up in the trash because they sat on the counter too long. But 7 pints of relish survived.

All in all the last three weeks have been good. Our totals are:

Banana Peppers: 2 lbs, 8 oz

Cucumbers: 22 lbs, 15 oz

Green Peppers: 2 lbs, 13 oz

Jalapenos: 4 lbs, 13 oz

Pears: 2 lbs

Red peppers: 1 lbs, 1 oz

Tomatillos: 4 oz

Watermelon: 55 lbs

Busy, Busy, Busy and Busy Some More: Part 2

During the time we were getting quotes from fence companies, we were also looking into a playset for our daughter. Once we could secure the backyard with the fence, we knew that we could feel comfortable gardening and letting her roam and play without fear that she had gone around to the front of the house and into the street. Gardening was not always an easy task with our 4 year old running around. We constantly had to ask each other “is she with you?” As we gathered the quotes, we started to fear that there was just no way we could afford such a luxury.  We looked for over a year.

One month before we were to install the fence, I posted a question on my facebook page about playsets.  I wanted to know who had one and where my friends got them.  The replies we got said they found used ones.  Oh if we could be so lucky.  As the time drew closer to install the fence, we continued to look.  When I had posted my question on facebook, a friend (we’ll call Jim) mentioned that he had a playset that he was selling but it was already taken.  He told me that if the deal fell through, he would let me know. Jim and his family lived right across the street and had his house on the market.

Within three weeks Jim and his wife got an offer on their house and a date was scheduled for closing. It was crunch time for them as they had to be out of their house within 3 weeks.  I contacted him again and asked if he was still selling the playset and if his friend was still interested.  Jim contacted his friend and next thing I knew, we had a playset for our daughter.  It happened so quickly and it was such a great deal.  We were told that we needed to get it soon as they were needing to get packed and moved.  At that time, we had plans for installing the fence and their move was the following weekend.  We had to install the fence and move the playset over quickly.  Time was of the essence.

The weekend after Daniel installed the fence a group of guys moved the playset over.  We knew where we wanted to put it but we didn’t plan as well as we should have.  It took a few hours to get it proper lined up but finally it was installed.  Everything had moved so quickly and within a week we had a fence and a playset.  We were so blessed. Things couldn’t of happened more smoothly. Installation was complete, now we had a lot of clean up to do.  We still needed to clean up the mounds of dirt left over from digging the holes for the fence posts, add the rubber mulch to the play area, clean the front garden, mow the yard and clear the back garden for fall. A lot of work but plenty of time to do it. We were no longer pressed for time.

Every Friday during the summer, I was watching a friends daughter.  The Friday after we had installed the playset, my friend commented that our garden, in the front, was so cool and asked if she could pitch the story to her editor. My friend works at our local paper.  Apparently the paper had been running a series about gardens and gardening in the community. She thought our story would be good for the series.  I was surprised by her new found interest.

I had been watching her daughter all summer and we never talked about it.  A couple hours after she left from dropping her daughter off, I received a call from the Editor and was asked if they could send a photographer out to take photos. Because the season was ending, they wanted to move quickly.  The photographer was scheduled to come the following Monday.  Holy cow!!! We had so much work to do and the garden was not ready for a photographer. That wonderful time that we thought we had was gone. We had about two weeks of work to do in two days. What were we thinking?  There was no way. Why did I agree to this?

The playset finally installed and mulch added.

The very next day we purchased the mulch and got busy.  When Daniel explained the benefits of using rubber mulch, I thought it would be good to use it in the front garden.  Rubber mulch is not cheap but when we had built the front garden, at the beginning of the summer, we used Cedar mulch and within 3 months, it looked horrible and needed to be redone.  The rubber mulch would not fade or need to be replaced for 10 years. That was the guarantee. Over the course of 10 years, we could save ourselves thousands of dollars using rubber mulch. So we added another job to our weekend duties.

That weekend, we mulched the front garden, added a border and mulch around the playset, pressure washed the front part of the house, cleaned up the front garden and planted a few new plants to fill the holes and cleaned the back garden..  By Sunday night we were so sore and so tired we couldn’t see straight.  I can’t believe it but we did it all in two days.

To be continued………..

Busy, Busy, Busy and Busy Some More: Part 1

I feel like I have been away for so long.  I guess I have; almost a month.  I can’t believe how life gets in the way and next thing we know a month goes by like a gush of wind.  Where to start?  Lets see……

Well,  I have missed three Harvest Mondays. I have been harvesting but unable to keep it all documented on the blog.  I miss checking in with everyone and seeing how my other gardening friends and bloggers have been doing.  I need a day to catch up and read, read, read.

covering the pipes: the final step in resolving the drainage issues.

I am most happy to report that we finally have all of our drainage issues under control and the fence has been put in. Another step of the journey has been completed.  Daniel spent 5 days adding drains and installing the fence.

We had a local fence company come out a couple times over the last year to give us a quote to install the fence. Because of the cost we had to hold off the first couple times they came out. A quote is only good for a few months and the cost of wood changes between seasons so that is why we had them come out a few times. Hard to budget if you don’t know the cost. Of course they were probably getting sick of us having them come out so often. Our neighbor down the street mentioned that he had purchased the materials from the same company we were getting a quote from, and he installed his fence himself. He said we would save a lot of money if we did the same thing.  So after we received yet another quote this summer, we asked the company to work up a quote for just the materials (fence, posts, gates and hardware).  We were shocked that about half the cost of the fence installation was going to be for labor.  Daniel is no stranger to labor so he got ready to do it himself.  Our neighbor was correct.

Two large pieces of concrete that Daniel had to dig up.

The materials were delivered a week later and Daniel got to work. I wasn’t convinced that installing the fence ourselves was the best option.  The fence company could do it in one day whereas Daniel would need to take a few days. The fence company would also have multiple people working on the project, where Daniel didn’t have any help.  Most of his friends were busy working, so he was on his own. After three days into the project, Daniel was starting to feel like he bit off more then he could chew.  Not because it was too difficult but he was on his own and digging the holes for the posts took two and a half days alone.

A tin base to a barrel that was buried.

As Daniel dug the holes for the posts, he would come across all kinds of crazy stuff. First off the trees we removed from the back of the property had roots that were still left in the ground. Digging those babies up was no easy task. The trees had been there for a very long time and as you can imagine, the roots were huge. Not only did he have to deal with roots, he came across a lot of waste left over from the builders when the house was built.  I hate how builders do that. People pay a lot of money for their houses and the builders make a pretty penny off us. The least they can do is have the trash hauled off.  After digging the posts and pouring the concrete, the rest of the job was easy.  He had the fence panels installed in a day (if that).

The posts going in where the trees once stood.

I felt so terrible for Daniel. Every night he would come in the house after a long day of digging and he would look so discouraged and deflated. But by the end of the project I could see the pride on his face and I now think he was glad that he did the work.  The more we do to our home ourselves, the more we take pride in it.  About a year ago we had considered selling our house. The only thing stopping us was the economy and we were told that our back garden would pose a problem. Most people want a large yard and between the garden and the trees, people with children wouldn’t want our house.  That is absolutely crazy to me but it stopped us from selling. Thank goodness we didn’t sell.  We have invested a lot of work into the house and gardens this past year and I wouldn’t sell for anything now.  I now have my dream home and I am proud of the work we have done. Of course if a realtor came out to our house now, they would really say we had a problem. Front gardens and back gardens and we are still expanding.  They wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole . Oh well we love it and it is home sweet home to us.

The back privacy (that doesn’t really give much privacy) fence.

the side fence looking all pretty along with the apple trees.

The fence has only been one part that had kept us busy this last month .  I will continue on tomorrow and let you know all the other great stuff happening around here.  So much, Oh so much.

Harvest Monday – 08/06/12

Happy Rainy Harvest Monday.  I can’t complain about the rain though.  Working in the garden when it is lightly raining and cooler is nothing to complain about. I think it was about 75 degrees when I finally got out of the house to work in the garden.  Considering it has been in the upper 80′s lower 90′s, 75 is a happy morning around here.

I love harvest Monday.  To me its a great way to start the week and this week is my biggest yet.

Our Full Harvest minus the Lemon Balm

Our cantaloupes seemed to have come in all within the last two weeks.  We have a couple cut up in our fridge and passed some out to family and friends.  Today we got 4 cantaloupes.  Two had to have the ends cut off of because they split when they broke from the vine and hit the ground.  I thought cantaloupes would be difficult to grow and harvest but I couldn’t be more wrong.  We never had to figure out when they were ready. When they were a pale yellow/orange and they pulled away from the vine, they were ready.  A few that we got were a bit over ripe but all in all we had a good crop.  We will be pulling the plants up this week, so I believe we gathered our last batch today.  Because we had so many, I decided to go ahead and freeze some for future use.  They will be good in fruit smoothies. Yummy!

Freezing Cantaloupe

The cucumbers are finally slowing down.  Although, I thought that last week but Saturday we got another 18 pounds.  I couldn’t believe it!  Luckily we passed some out to friends but it looks like I will be canning some more relish.  Just when I think I am done with the relish, my mom calls to tell me how much they are enjoying it.  Not only did my mom call but tonight my in-laws mentioned they could use some more. So now my in-laws, my parents and my husband and I love it. Looks like we will all be enjoying it for the next year.  Its not a bad thing, but a lot of work.  Because I need to can more relish, I needed bell peppers.  The recipe calls for green and red peppers so I was glad we had plenty of green pepper today.  I was going to hold off picking the red and yellow bell peppers but I noticed that the last three yellow bell peppers (the only ones I have picked so far) were not looking so good. Either they were being eaten by critters or staying on the vine for as long as they have to to change color was causing them to rot.  Either way, I decided to go ahead and pick all the yellow and red peppers.  The yellow is more of a light green and the red have some stripes of red and green.  Regardless of their color, I know they will be perfect.

rotten or eaten yellow peppers

Yellow, red and green peppers.

This week was another good one for banana and jalapeño peppers.  I was reading Adventures in Agriburbia the other day and she got real busy and canned a bunch of stuff last week.  One of the recipes was a Pepper Jelly.  I have always wanted to try that so I will be using my peppers for Pepper Jelly tomorrow.  I can’t wait to see how it turns out.  I will keep you posted.

Banana and Jalapeño peppers

Our tomatoes are starting to ripen and I couldn’t be happier.  The only problem is they are coming in slowly that I never seem to get enough for canning.  When the tomatoes first started coming in, my husband picked a couple green ones with small patches of red.  At first I was bothered by this but he explained that his grandparents would pick them at this stage and put them on the window seal to finish ripening.  I thought that was weird but then I started to see how  well they did and how it kept the birds from eating them. So all season this is what we have done.  Today we had a lot of tomatoes with green and red. Not only do we have to use the kitchen window seal but we also had to use some of the window in the dining room.  Hopefully these will ripen quickly so we don’t have to move to another window.  I think I will have Daniel build me some shelves in the windows so we can have more space for our harvest next year.

Last but nowhere near the least is our Lemon Balm.  I just cut it and man does it smell good.  I planted one plant this year and thought I would use it in my baths (it helps to relax you) but I decided to Google it the other night to see what else I could do with it.  I found tons of information.  Lemon Balm is good for tea, sore throat relief and as an anti itch cream.  I also found a recipe for Lemon Balm Jelly.  I will be making that tomorrow.  Tonight however, I will be freezing some and drying some.  If I freeze it, I can use it in my cooking and in my baths and dried lemon balm will be good as a spice on fish.  I am really excited about this herb.

Lemon Balm – 11 oz

Here are our totals for today and Saturday:

Lemon Balm: Monday – 11 oz

Cantaloupe: Saturday – 3 lbs, 3 oz; Monday – 11 lbs 4 oz = Total 14 lbs 7 oz

Cucumbers: Saturday – 18 lbs 3 oz; Monday – 4 lbs 15 oz = Total 23 lbs 2 oz
