I think I have enough white potatoes canned, so I'm going to use my jars for canning the sweet potatoes I got in the Amish country. That will be a new experience for me. I think I'll can them the same way I did the white potatoes. Thanks for sharing!

I have lettuce and onions in the hanging baskets on the porch right now, another experiment. Those will probably have to go in the greenhouse eventually. If I bring them out on our warm winter days, they might do better. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-39130852369768217922012-10-28T08:44:59.350-04:002012-10-28T08:44:59.350-04:00Your raised bed looked really nice!Your raised bed looked really nice!becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-24110284446049198472012-10-28T08:44:38.247-04:002012-10-28T08:44:38.247-04:00Wow, that was a good deal on potatoes!

Good for you on the pallets. Most of them go to waste and you might as well use them. <br />Sorry to hear Dean has to have more surgery on that knee since you have to go through the recovery all over again, lol. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-18121448748681139192012-10-28T08:41:40.967-04:002012-10-28T08:41:40.967-04:00It is on his blog.

The problem with his blog is that it doesn't do separate postings so you can't link to a specific recipe and it also does not give you links by months so you just have to go there and keep scrolling. The pink lemonade recipe is under the July 19,2012 posting on the blog. (There is a link to the blog on his site). becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-76898299273966700072012-10-28T07:21:48.181-04:002012-10-28T07:21:48.181-04:00Those are cute tomatoes.

I don't remember getting a lot of tomatoes but it was a fun winter project.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-74339660135484555072012-10-28T03:11:34.727-04:002012-10-28T03:11:34.727-04:00Dull times are what makes the special days special...Dull times are what makes the special days special! I've been doing a bit of Hard Labour too - making up that Raised Bed kit (you saw the pic on FB).

You got me started back on that. I had a big sack here and then the store had 20 pound for $2.99 so I bought another sack. So I figured I better do something. I canned 7 quarts and then I'm going to make some french fries for the freezer. I have a bunch of huge sweet potatoes to do too. Dean really likes the sweet potato fries too. <br />Then I picked some more Italian green beans. I cooked some for supper and they were SO GOOD! I had cooked some last week and don't think I cooked them quite enough because they were a little tough. Not tonight. I have enough for about 6 pints to can but I probably will go check tomorrow and see if I missed any. We are supposed to have frost tomorrow night so I will lose them unless I cover them. Dean said he will cover them so we will see. <br />Then we went next door to steal some pallets. LOL It's not really next door, one house and a street between us. It's a furniture store out here in the country and they leave their pallets out by the warehouse and people pick them up. So there were several out there so we went an loaded them up. Warehouse doors were wide open, we could have loaded some furniture too. Dean went inside but saw nobody so we loaded the pallets and left. I told him I was tired of looking at them back there. I can see the warehouse doors when I come out of the house. So now I see them in my own yard. LOL He cuts them up for kindling for the wood stove. And I am saving a couple for the future chicken coop. Dean says by next spring we will be ready for them. I hope so. He has to have more surgery on that knee after Thanksgiving so we're trying to get some things done before that. Opps. I've written another book.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487000344461855471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-6971340992744696522012-10-27T22:08:11.786-04:002012-10-27T22:08:11.786-04:00I looked all over his website, but I didn't fi...I looked all over his website, but I didn't find pink lemonade wine.
