Soup

Going to freeze tonight according to the weather heads. We went ahead and picked as much delicate stuff in the garden that we could. Then a thought hit, how about soup?

Cabbage, onion's, tomatoes, whatever was in danger. Washed them all, prepped, made a soup, looks and smells nice, most likely will taste very good. In addition we have the other half of a ribeye steak we had last night to go with plus I just made a small loaf of multigrain bread today. Even the dog like the smell.

We've disconnected the hoses from the faucets, drained them, then put the foam covers on the faucets, just in case. I suspect we won't get a hard freeze but it will be right at freezing temperature by dawn tomorrow. First time in almost three years for a freeze, hopefully the weather heads got it wrong again.

This evening I made a nice mess of Sloppy Joe, lots of chopped onions, garlic, onion tops, red bell pepper, and lots of other stuff on homemade multi grain bread with extra sliced red peppers on the side. You have to keep the kitchen warm in the winter time.

It's only going to get down to 34F tonight and last night wasn't as bad as the weather folk claimed, temps for the next week or in the mid forties to mid fifties. So much for winter here.

Winter garden is growing well and we are still picking sweet peppers, eggplant, and a few tomatoes. Will pick the last of the tomatoes tomorrow.

The highly touted black tomatoes were a bust, none got much bigger than an inch across and were not at all tasty. Don't know if they just didn't like our dirt, were bad seed to start, or whatever it was.

We try something new every spring or fall and some we win, and many we lose. Gardening in this climate is quite often a crap shoot. I do need to prune the pear tree tomorrow or I will miss my window of opportunity.
