Ohiofarmgirl's Adventures in The Good Land is largely a fish out of water tale about how I eventually found my footing on a small farm in an Amish town. We are a mostly organic, somewhat self sufficient, sustainable farm in Ohio. There's action and adventure and I'll always tell you the truth about farming.

A lovely basket...and a cool morning

I took these up yesterday and thought the colors were just lovely....

The huge ones are the oxhart tomatoes and all the little green things are tomatillos

And without fail it has to be salsa day....after, of course, I put up the rest of the plums...and the peaches... and then start two cheeses and.. and... and... you see how it goes sometimes? All in good time.

We finally have had some cool mornings. Everyone out in the barnyard is just pippin' and poppin' and flippin' and flyin' around. Vita and Debbie, the full sized goats, are out there chasing each other and butting heads. Not in a mean way - they are just goosin' it up and enjoying the cool weather.

But I'd better get out there -- Debbie is so full her udder looks like its going to pop!

Happy Saturday everyone, hope you are enjoying a cool morning.

Happy Saturday, those tomatoes are huge. Isn't life grand when one is in charge of their own food stuffs.:) Our tomatillos will be ready for salsa making this next week I hope.

You said it, Mr. H! I'm so excited about the tomatillos...this is the first time growing them for me. Its just a beautiful day here on all counts!

Oh, you will love the tomatillos in salsa and if you like it a bit spicy they match up perfectly with jalepenos or other peppers in a chipotle type salsa.

Thanks Mr. H! It turned out great! I made a salsa verde with.... jalapenos! I would love to have more peppers in the garden tho. I have a huge anahiem pepper bush which is yielding at least a dozen fruits. I used some of those also. I'll pick more tomorrow to make another batch. But you know how canning goes.. Now I need more jars!
