When my Garden goes into overdrive.
Invert plate over thinly sliced cucumbers and place heavy weight on top of plate.
Let stand for a few hours, pour off liquid, then season with salt, pepper and a little honey, and chill for a refreshing summer salad.
Beets, Cabbages, Cucumbers and Peppers are ready.
I planted Dill and Fennel on either side of my cabbages to keep the dreaded cabbage worm away.
It's not working too well.
Blanch each cabbage leaf for a few minutes to make Cabbage Rolls.
Fill leaves with ground beef and onion mixture.
Saute in a little unsalted butter and olive oil.
Make a flour gravy and pour over cabbage rolls and bake in oven for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Peppers are ready to be stuffed and put away for winter months.
Blanch for a few minutes to soften skin.
Then stuff with a mixture of ground beef, onions and rice, flavored with home made tomato sauce. Bake in oven for forty minutes at 350 degrees.
Charlie has seen it all before.
Lucy is ever hopeful that a morsel or two will come her way.
Gene helped our neighbor by taking the sheep wagon to the high mountains. Then he had to move the cattle to a new pasture. The new pasture has three territorial bulls on all sides just waiting for a little excitement. A temporary fence was installed.
Apricots were waiting for me and made into preserves.
My reward?
Flowers from my Garden.
Wishing you well
