My SFG on 21 June 2010











Tomatoes



Basil

I made some fresh Pesto with Basil from the Garden the other day.
It was Yummy!



Cilantro






Peppers

Something was eating the leaves of the Peppers.
I mixed some water and crushed red pepper flakes
and sprayed the leaves.
That seems to have helped.










Green Beans

Whatever was eating the Peppers was eating the Green Bean leaves too.
I had replant some seeds
because some the the seedlings were too far gone.







Nasturtium







Carrots







Mint





Spinach






Head Lettuce and Leaf Lettuce






Compost Pile






Blackberry Bush

CSN Stores.com

I want to share with you a great site that I recently learned about.... CSN Stores.com.


If you're looking for cookware, outdoor furniture, shoes, handbags or even a sleeper sofa-
CSN Stores.com has everything!! They have over 200 websites that you can shop from!



Canning season is coming up quick! I am looking for anything that will help me process the food from our harvests in a hurry. Currently I am checking out food slicers. There are lots of options to chose from in the CSN Stores.com network.




I will make my purchase and report back to you.  I will review the food slicer that I get and the service provided by CSN Stores.com. Because not only is the product important but the service is too!




In the meantime be sure to browse around and check out all 200 websites  You will be amazed at the selection!
