Pepper time

Today despite the rainy weather, the garden yielded  30 hot and sweet banana peppers, 30 jalapenos. 22 Bell peppers, 3 cucumbers and 2 zucchini.
We used the day inside to process 4 jars of mint jelly and 14 jars of pepper jelly.













Plus the corn is almost ready to harvest. I know this for a number of reasons:

1- We always plant the first week of April and that puts the harvest towards the end of June.
2- According to farmers, corn is ready when the silks turn brown.
But the real reason I know it's close to picking corn is- 
I chased a squirrel out of corn patch today and he was chowing down on one of the ears of corn.

Time to pick it before they get more than we do!!!
