Your goodies look great! We haven't ever done the okra. Not sure if we like it or not. I've only ever had it breaded at a buffet. hehehe Our garden is looking good but when we came back something has ate the tops off of our bananna peppers!%$#@# They didn't eat the peppers but my husband says he don't think the plants will make it!%$#@% We have a fence around the garden to keep the deer out and there are no tracks inside so we aren't sure what happened? Bugs??? <br /><br />I didn't know that you could freeze tomatoes. I am going to have to give that a try!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-39463188165501708462009-06-21T13:01:23.304-05:002009-06-21T13:01:23.304-05:00I love fried okra.

We haven't had any fresh tomatoes yet this season, but after seeing your pix, I am definitely going to go out and look for a farmer with some good ones! My favorite summer food! You have such a beautiful bounty of garden vegetables.

Your farm sounds lovely! And, Ricky sounds like a keeper! My dad, rest his soul, was an avid gardener in the summer..and my mom at 76 still plants a small one herself as a widower. She just told me this morning she had my brother install a barbwire fence around her garden because the deer ate nearly all of it last year. While we were on the phone, a deer was up under her peach tree on the hill standing on it's hind legs to try and get a peach. Go figure.. :) Love the post today! :) ~CC Catherine~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-6925259339359126832009-06-19T08:30:33.772-05:002009-06-19T08:30:33.772-05:00Oh, yum ,irish potatoes ... & those tomatoes, ...Oh, yum ,irish potatoes ... & those tomatoes, I'm going to have to have a chat with mine to 'hurry up'.

Did you know that you can take a ripe tomato and place it whole and unpeeled in a freezer bag and pop it in the freezer? It will keep and be ready when you want it with all its goodness and flavor. An old timer told me about this and after gardening for many years, I didn't know this.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
