Welcome to the 11th edition of the Garden Life link up on No Ordinary Homestead. I know a lot of people are just focusing on harvesting whatever they can from their gardens now, and we are doing quite a bit of that ourselves. This weekend, I've got to can all the...
What?! It's Friday already? Not that I'm complaining! I have been up to my ears in work as I put together the Refueling Power Moms Giveaway (running October 6-10) and balance my other jobs and home as well. Our garden is kinda doing more of the same right now....
So as not to overwhelm you in my discussion about peaches, I thought I would share the basic canning peaches recipe today instead of last Friday when it was peach chaos. Of course that peach explosion was nothing like having 100 pounds of peaches sitting in front of...

Hello Garden Lovers! Hope you've been having a great week. Have you begun to notice the shortening of the days? We woke up this morning and it was still dark outside! Seems like it happened all the sudden (although I know it didn't) and we've been having...
