Garden Update and Yummy Jam

Here are a few photos of my garden. Tomatoes are doing well. This year we tried some small yellow pear shaped tomatoes that are great in a salad. One bell pepper plant seems to be producing some. Carrots are growing well and one cantaloupe is growing on my large cantaloupe vine. We have lots of grapes growing which I have no idea what to do with yet. Last year they were really sour so we will see how they turn out this year.

Also, over the gate on one side of my house we have this vine. It mostly gets in the way so we always hack it back. We haven't cut it back in a while and, this week, I noticed some beautiful flowers on it! Maybe it will stay tall awhile longer.

This morning Lily and I made our first batch of freezer jams! I was inspired by my friend Hannah and thought I could give it a shot. I used this "no cook freezer jam pectin" that was supposed to be great because it is low sugar, which I'm thinking Tommy will love more. It seems a bit sour and a little runny but still delicious. Maybe next time I'll try a different pectin. Lily still prefers the store bought jam without the chunky fruit but I'll bet she won't notice in her PBn'J.
