Decorative Garden Journal, Gardener's First Aid Kit, Testing Old Seeds, Freezer Strawberry Jam and Yummy Heirloom Brushetta
"Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written
words." Lydia M. Child
I often talk about my love for journaling and awhile back I talked about a Cookbook Journal I had made for my daughter Taylor. Well, I also have created several Gardening Journals to show the progress of my gardens as the years go by. It is fun to put the photo's in along with magazine articles or pictures that inspired me to my newest creation. As the years move forward seeing the growth and changes that naturally take place in a garden are both exciting and joyful. This morning while I should have been busy harvesting, I just couldn't resist taking a few moments to weed the Pergola garden and walkway... it is so relaxing for me... the cool morning with the light fog across the fields is so inviting as I prepare for the heat of the day. Yesterday Taylor took the boys swimming and I had some quiet time... in my gardens... Well here we are at the end of June and I haven't even given you a Strawberry Freezer Jam recipe... shame on me! Well they are still in season so here is my families favorite and if you were fortunate enough to be one of our Winter CSA members you got this in your shares... so here's the not-so-secret recipe! Enjoy!
