- 2 seedless watermelons
- 2 2-liters of lemonade
- 3 bags of Aunt Millie's burger buns
- 2 12-pks of La Croix fizzy water, nectar of the Dawn :D
Then the Meijer ad came out. I'm really apathetic about couponing right now, but since i was at the farmer's market next door anyway, i went for the free creamer. $10/10 + 11th free; i had 7 50-cent coupons which doubled. Here's what i got, for $6.81:
- 7 flavored creamers
- 2 bagged salad mixes
- 1 bunch celery
- 8 oz mushrooms
- gallon milk
- 2 dozen eggs
- pretty good, huh?
i thought my garden was boring, til i hit the farmer’s market today. all of a sudden i felt pretty successful: The only stuff they had that i didn’t, was stuff i didn’t like! LOL
We’ve got a produce drawer full of cucumbers that will be refrigerator pickles soon! I’ve made pesto and basil hummus, been drinking spearmint water all summer, snipped all the dill for the pickles, put in cilantro and more parsley — can you ever plant enough parsley?? — and leeks. The asparagus is finishing its second year, so next year we’ll be able to harvest all we want (and i found a website that teaches how to extend the harvest time!). Three different kinds of peppers are coming on — my banana peppers were bigger than at the market! LOL Late-planted green beans (4 bush varieties) are starting to come up! Divided winter savory to share with a friend (if you haven’t tried it, you should — it’s excellent!) and am looking for a lovage plant. My seeds didn’t germinate, and i REALLY want to grow this! Cabbage that i planted in !!April!! is FINALLY starting to head up, and the one surviving broccoli (planted same time) is just putting out mondo leaves, aparently stimulated by the Organic Miracle Gro. It may do nothing. wierdest thing i’ve seen. I’m going to plant some more today for a fall harvest, along w/ radishes, lettuces, chard, bok choy.
put a beautiful yellow coreopsis in the corner of the cucumber bed. will be pretty there! My monarda is dying and i don't know why. thought it liked tomatoes!
but really, i’m just killing time til the tomatoes get ripe!!! i planted them really late so they’re not even close, just a few small greenies & lots of blossoms. TONS of foliage, hoping the MG didn't sabotage my harvest!! but plenty of blossoms so just sitting tite. HURRY UP!! If i wait that late to plant next year, please just shoot me!!
