SPRING IN THE AIR

Can you believe that most of the snow is gone now. We still have ice on our deck and now they say another storm is moving in. It was so nice here today with temp. around 62. Can't wait for spring so I can get the soil ready for my garden. This year I am not planning on planting as many beans as I did last year. I have never saw so many beans in such a small garden. But God just blessed us. This year we may not have many at all. I saw somthing today at Big Lots that I thought looked good was pickled asparaguas. I had never saw any of that before. I love anything pickled. Most people don't know about pickled corn. I can eat it right out of the jar. You fry it up in a little oil and it is so good. Just don't let my hubby be around he hates the smell. Yellow corn and not a sweet corn is good for making this. It  is so easy to can also. We tried a new corn out last year and could not believe how good it was. It was called ambrosia in the yellow. I love the golden queen corn and to me this was better and it stayed fresh longer when it came in. I thought I would do like the old timers and fix me some home ground cornmeal. I wasted three rows of garden with this hickory cane corn by letting the birds get it. I will never plant any more of that stuff. The birds love it and I know the love to eat like we do but it is not worth the trouble when you can go to the Amish and buy it. I found that out in the spring. I plan on buying more of the molasses if I can. Let me tell you they are nothing like in the stores. They make the best gingerbread biscuits going. Oh well just let it be Spring soon. If any of you can get your hands on some short cut beans or greasy beans make sure you dry a bushel for shuck beans. They are something else to eat. Best beans going.
