Tomato Plants Find a Home

In between the raindrops, we had a rather nice day here. I got my tomato and cucumber plants in the ground. We are expecting rain again toight.

I planted a Beefsteak, Early Girl, Sweet Cluster, Husky Red Cherry, Martinao Roma (hybid) and a Bush Cucumber.

Finished my Jam!

I finished 8 more pints of Rhubarb Jam
I tried the strawberry and raspberry flavors this time. 4 of each. I think that will be enough to last me till next season.

It's that time of year again. I must make enough of this jam to last me a year. It's my favorite on toast, english muffins, or a bowl of vanilla ice cream for that extra special treat.
