It's spoiling me, but I figure there's enough other work to do that I'll grab the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) stuff when I can! :)<br /><br />And thank you for your kind words. The farm is a work in progress, but folks seem to love it.

So I don't freeze a bunch of them.

And now it's filled with flowers and a couple of cute ponds, so it's much better... all of which need weeding and more mulch. SIGH! But I'll get to it this week.... and I'll think of you!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-65934134852490491092019-08-08T19:59:47.991-04:002019-08-08T19:59:47.991-04:00So nice and easy to buy favorite fruit in bulk to ...So nice and easy to buy favorite fruit in bulk to freeze. Yum, on your pie. I remember picking cherries at my grandparents and then the pitting of them before in the freezer for baked goods. <br /><br />Your farm is turned into a stunning fall market that I would love to visit on of these days.

I buy blueberries like crazy in the summer, but look at the cherries and debate cost. I never blink at the cost of blueberries. Well, maybe I blink, but I buy them anyway.<br />Variety, it's what keeps the world interesting.<br /><br />Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-22564968145402592302019-08-08T14:44:17.744-04:002019-08-08T14:44:17.744-04:00I adore fresh cherries!!

And bet it's way, way, waaaaaaaay better than the canned cherry pie filling in the grocery store! :-)<br /><br />Farm life is a frenzied life, it seems. And I think I have my hands full with my garden. But I thought of you this summer when I cleared a section at the side of my house of ivy!!!! (oy, those roots) and wild raspberries(ouch, those thorns are vicious) and weed trees. I'm going to put in a path and two garden beds.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-77231395712830362632019-08-08T06:02:29.153-04:002019-08-08T06:02:29.153-04:00Ah, a blueberry lover!

But pies and tarts and that kind of thing doesn't go over here. So fresh, yes! And we just planted more beans, too. With a 60 day cycle, they may come the end of September... and if they don't, the world will go on. A little risk for great reward because I love fresh beans too, Katie! I'm so glad you stopped by!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-32239619542764612072019-08-08T00:39:22.291-04:002019-08-08T00:39:22.291-04:00You make fall sound so good!

Not ready for those snow balls to fly yet. I just planted a few more bush beans after pulling my potatoes. Since I had the seeds and the space I thought why not try and get a late harvest from them?! My first group is slowing down. The lack of rain has slowed them down and at least for a couple more weeks I don't have as much time for watering. I am going to disagree with you on the blueberry/cherry deal. I will pick blueberries first. Infact the dogs and I shared some frozen the other night. A quick easy snack!
