Ribbon Friendship Star

Close up of Ribbon Star made into a table runner. Now I have to quilt it and enjoy.Click on picture and see a closer view how interesting it is.

50 year Old Geranium

This geranium my mother's friend Mrs. Heckman gave this to me and said  keep  it in the sun and  it will never quit blooming.It is a single bloom almost like a daisy.  I am so proud of it and have kept it in her memory.I was a just a new bride when she gave it to me.

It is hard to start a slip from, some times break it off and use  Take Root powder and then some times you have to lay a piece of the vine in dirt and it will sprout. It has to be in a South or West window in Winter.

Carrots & Red Beets

Out of these 3 rows of carrots I froze 81 cups of sliced carrots.  The Red Beets on the right I have canned 17 pint of sliced  spiced red beets.But only about 1/2 of the patch was ready.My children all love the spiced Red Beets. My mother's recipe.

Garlic from our Garden

 My husband pulled 75 garlic plants

Here are the bulbs after he cleaned them.
