Today I will be preparing a large meal to celebrate. I love to cook, but one day I will just make a simple dinner for me and my husband and just enjoy the sentiment of the day, But today it will be a full on family dinner.
Ham
turkey
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Stuffing
Baked yams
Corn
Honey Roasted Carrots
Deviled Eggs
Cranberry sauce
This day shall start early... I am off to cook.
Went out to water the gardens and there are a few thing that make me happy. My favorite this year is my pot of Black Eyed Susan's... My mother grew these and her name was Susan, not Suzie she did not like being called Suzie. But she loved these flowers
Then there is what I call my volunteers. They pop up where ever a bird drops a seed and I let them grow. In my way of thinking if it fought that hard to grow where they are they have the right to live. I never know where a plant will just appear in my yard, And of course it is free food... Yummy
Then there is my volunteer potatoes... I will get to harvest this box many time and there is always tiny potatoes left behind these are German Butterball Indeterminate potatoes. I bought this variety because you can keep adding dirt and they make more at the upper part of the plant. These are the ones you would grow in a stack of tires and keep adding more dirt. Then when they are ready pull the bottom tire and leave the rest of the plant to allow the upper potatoes to mature. But, I have never had enough tires to do this type of gardening. I know there is a way to do this with out tires I have just not found it yet.
Along with my flowers I planted some pretty apricot colored hot peppers, I can't wait to try a different hot sauce recipe. They are a prolific fruiting plant.
