And all the jars have sealed. I still have the dehydrator running out in the summer kitchen. So those should be done in the morning.
Went to the garden after I finished with the beets to see how the tater bugs were doing. They seemed rather hungry, so I gave them another dose of nicotine spray. The beans look really good, some are blooming. The tomatoes are blooming and setting tomatoes now. I simply must get in there tomorrow evening and mulch the tomatoes to keep them off the ground.
The fellow that cuts our hay has most of it raked and some baled today. He is also gonna bale the hay that was cut in the orchard. The guys got in there this evening at nearly dark and put up metal fence post beside each of the fruit trees so they don't get baled. So now we will have some good roll baled hay to feed goats and sheep if we have some this winter.
Tomorrow is a new day, and I start over. Till next time, blessings from the McGuire homestead.

Gosh those look pretty in your summer kitchen!
I have a different pest to contend with. Cut worms! I was out last night just about dark hunting in the containers for any more I might have missed. They got one of my potato plants but I harvested lots of little red taters from it, sifted them out of the soil and tossed them under my bird feeder. :)
I love canning pickled beets! What is your recipe?
Hi ya'll, gosh Mary cant remember when I have had a cut worm get a plant here. I know some folks put lil paper collars on their plants so the worms cant get em.
