Real Farmtown Update

This was taken this morning just before the 'Rents started picking green beans.  Dad wanted me to share a picture of his beloved garden with you, faithful readers, and I was only happy to oblige. It is in deed a pretty garden, and you'd have to use a magnifying glass to find any weeds in there. 

As of yesterday, we've (and yes, I can include myself by using "we" because I've helped, too) canned 28 quarts of green beans, 4 pints of banana peppers, frozen 8 quarts of collard greens and 6 quarts of yellow squash.  And it's not over yet.  As I type this, we've got a pot of collards on and will blanche them and freeze them later, and the 'Rents are breaking beans for probably 14 more quarts.
