Keeping Busy

Scott left for Medford today. I’m keeping myself busy putting food by. I’m doing salsa tonight. While I was out buying some supplies I came across Mrs. Wage’s Citric Acid which is a pleasant discovery since I much prefer the flavor of lime juice in my salsa to vinegar. I wasn’t sure if lime juice would be quite acidic enough for safe canning so I’ll drop in a 1/2 teaspoon per pint of Mrs. Wage’s just to be sure.
I also splurged on a lovely half-bushel of locally grown peaches at Dill’s Best Market.

While I don’t can my salsa for long term preservation, lime juice is a main ingredient in my recipe. I also juice it over my chips after I fry them.
I’m sure it will be great.
My tomato crop is not good this year. I’m going to work some manure into the soil when I turn it in the fall and see if that helps. My cucumbers and zucchini are faring pretty well and my sunflowers are now taller than I am. I love sunflowers!

I love sunflowers too! I should take a picture of the one I have blooming.
Manure will do wonders for your soil and your acid loving plants.
