I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

Day After Irrigation
We picked our pole beans as soon as it was light enough to see. We didn't get many. Our plants have not produced well. Carol washed them. We put them a grocery bag and we gave them to one of our neighbors.
Our neighbor, Karen, has a beautiful flower bed. I had to take a picture. Many of those plants she got from us.
I picked the tomatoes from our garden. There were two totes. One full and the other one half full. She peeled all of them and put in quart bottles. There were fourteen quarts.
While Carol was processing the tomatoes, I picked two buckets of these large Roma type tomatoes. I put the in the trunk and was ready drive one block north where one of our friends live. I started to back out of the garage, she and another friends walked up pushing a stroller and a new baby tied in front of her. Her husband helped build our patio. She wanted to see our gardens. I showed them our gardens.
Before lunch I removed all the irrigation pipes and put them away for the next water turn. That may not happen until next spring.
One of the last things that we looked at was the Italian squash. Pictured below is the hoop house.
Later in the day we drove to Fillmore to make a bank deposit and two by a few things at the hardware store. Tonight we picked more cucumbers. Hope to get rid of them tomorrow.
