Garden Delight

We're down in Grants Pass for Bird's 10 year High school reunion. While I am not overly anxious for the reunion I am having a great time here at the Wicks Casa. Their place is delightfully located in the mountains well outside of town close to the Applegate River. Their garden is stupendous and I am filled with envy.

I woke up this morning to the sight and sounds of Bird and Rhonda working hard to push a wheel barrow of corn up a steep gravely slope.
Now many hours later all of that corn is shucked, blanched, cut and packed into bags. We also blanched, peeled, cut and dehydrated a box of peaches, and picked, prepped and vacuum sealed green beans.


It was a delightful and productive day.

Hobbit had a good time picking and snapping beans. Learning how to freeze stuff was cool too. I'm sure your garden would be just as awsome if ya had the space.
