You are not only a farmer, wine maker, chef, and entrepreneur, but a jolly good soul, Rhonda. Nothing goes to waste on your watch, my Proverbs 31 woman. I am blessed just ready this. How refreshing you and your family are. Like me, you have much stored for the days ahead. I have a feeling we will need it. Just sayin'....

Told with great humor and a zest for life. ;)
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal xoxoxo

Thank you, Sally, for your sweet review. I completely agree on food storage. We do this every year, but often just as a hobby. Now, I think I understand why my WWII era parents were such hoarders. They both passed away last year, and were always predicting such times. I should have listened, lol.

So glad hear about your productive garden! Wow! You have made so much from your family farm. Fabulous! You'll have to write us a later post about how the wine tastes. I'm sure your juice is much better than the commercial brands. Here's to health to you and all of yours!

Thank you, my friend, for the lovely review. I don?t know if the grape juice is actually any better, but my mother-in-law seems to think so, and that?s all that matters.
I?ll let you know on the wine, lol. I do love the jelly, though.

Hi Rhonda. Congratulations on working toward becoming a master gardener. No small feat to accomplish. I enjoyed your account of bountiful harvest very much. You are ambitious. Just one little typo here:
"I'll have something better to bribe the relatives with then(than) jelly.

Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for the lovely review. I definitely appreciate you finding the Soam. Then and than are one of my biggest slip ups. Lay and lie gets me, too.

It?s been a challenge to complete the Master Gardener program because were mostly all retired people (vulnerable age group), so social distancing has made everything quite a challenge. We?ve done a lot of Zoom meetings, if you know what those are. I didn?t before all this started.
Thanks again, and stay safe,
Rhonda
