Good morning, and I hope all are well today! How about Father’s Day? Did you guys have a good one? Ours was great!
Well, our spring garden has done come and sprung! Honestly I can’t say that I’m very sad right at the moment, and I know Deb’s ready for a break. We have, picked, shelled, cooked for meals, and canned for later on down the road.
We’ve really had a dry spring this year, but all in all, the garden did excellent. It has supplied us, and our family with some really good eating, and we’ve put up enough that we should be able to eat butter beans, string beans, corn, and canned tomatoes, pickles, etc., probably until next year’s spring garden.
Now we can settle down, slow down, and coast for a while garden wise. Our rains still haven’t started, so we’ll not be putting anything else in the ground as yet. Isn’t it funny how each year is a little different?
Last year as an example, we didn’t make the first string bean, butter bean, and only a handful of tomatoes. The reason? Too much rain, I mean bucketfulls, and it drowned most everything in our spring garden.
We made a lot of corn last spring, and made some peas, but not a lot. Our fall garden made a slew of peas though.
Then this spring, we are dry as a bone, and have watered and watered, just to keep it alive.
To its credit though, the dern garden did pretty well! Again, it really supplied us with a bountiful harvest. On top of the drought, once we found out about Deb’s dilemma, we didn’t spend the time in it we really should have.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
