Canning
I put up nine pints of purple hulls and seven pints of cream peas today. We also have about a bushel of ripe fat juicy tomatos that should become soup base, salsa, and sgetti sauce this week, plus I have another bushel of purple hulls coming this week. I wish the heat and drought had not killed my garden, but I am glad other folks have had success. I am looking for local yeller crookneck squash to make squash pickles..... I love canning.....
How you doing? GoodOlBoy

Learn somthing new every day. Everyone raises plain old green peas up here.
Never was into pea soups much until a bunch of guys working on a big construction project decided to throw a dinner for us yankees at our Eagles Club. They were a bunch of southern boys that had come up here for the work. A few of them went south to get the fixins. Best dang eatin on this earth. Never heard of half of the stuff they served but it sure was good.

But, I've spent at least a month every year for the last 20 in Louisiana. My Cajun friends call me a Yankee Coon A$$. I knew what purple hulls are and I like them. Your's look very good, must have been watering your garden. My friends in SW Louisiana are really hurting for rain, one has his own well for the garden, but is worried about salt water intrussion.

Glad ya know how to visit the promised lands Popple. My garden is DEAD, but my cousin has been watering his from the creek. Wish I had a pump and a cistern setup so that I could store water from the creek and do that! Heck makes it worse that all the springs feeding this part of the creek are on my land! Oh well I am buyin from him, and canning them.

GOB,
Have you thought about one of these for your garden? http://www.atlaspub.20m.com/rampg.htm If the spring is below the garden and the run is not to far, it will work as long as water flows. I was going to put one on my farm but the distance to the creek was to far and it was too far below my pond. Ed

hey fbc long time no see.
rapier i have thought about it but i think it may be too far a run. the other thing i thought about was building a cistern on a 6-10ft tower and putting a solar pump on it running down to the springs. I dunno what I am going to do, but I have got to do something in the next year or so. GoodOlBoy

Me I'll take my Boston North End Italian food. Don't grow too well in the garden but sure is good going down. And from the looks of me it stays with you for a long time.

Say what you want buckhunter, but I bet you some of the grandmother's cooking in some of the OLD Italian family places could make Italian from a Texas garden that would make you want to spit at the stuff you have been eating...
