It is really good! Finally growing my own, it's taken them so long to come to fruit!

Sounds like a busy but wonderful time, Susan! Congrats on all of the great veggies this season! and good luck on the fall crop!

finally!! an eggplant!! this little baby just started peaking out over the weekend.

I can imagine! If you're able to grow enough produce, it probably is really profitable. I live in a small town in the south, and there are a lot of locals that sell produce at farmer's market. Some have even made deals with the local grocery stores to supply their produce. There are little...

Probably not sell any. Just share with family and friends this go around. Maybe if we have a good turn out we'll try for bigger & better next year!

I'm hoping to have enough for jack o lanterns and pumpkin pie! Plus I love roasting pumpkin seeds. I'll have to wait and see how many turn out. Looks like a good bunch though.

the pumpkins are getting big, fast! but we've been getting a lot of rain the past two weeks, and I think that's been the biggest help!

After trying the breakfast casserole, I'm really excited about overnight meals. I don't know why I never thought of it. I always thought slow cooker= start meal in the morning and dinner will be ready after work. It's so great to put it on when you're going to bed and wake up to warm breakfast...

I made this recipe over the weekend, not realizing that it's servings for 12 people! Definitely something to keep in mind because 30 oz of hashbrowns didn't look like much until it started cooking! I also substituted the pork sausage for Morning Star vegetarian soy-based product that's supposed...
