The house isn't air conditioned so firing up a pot of boiling water took huge will power. I did get everything processed and frozen. Hard to appreciate now but this winter I will enjoy a bit of summer from the garden.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-1975489398716077982014-07-02T15:08:27.487-04:002014-07-02T15:08:27.487-04:00We have been in the middle of a heat wave but than...We have been in the middle of a heat wave but thankfully, the next few days will be a bit better - it's really the humidity that drives us inside, more than anything. That's so funny about the Swiss chard - I always consider it one of those crops that you plant once & it just keeps going through the summer.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-57545038344551925262014-07-01T20:11:15.646-04:002014-07-01T20:11:15.646-04:00They hate heat.

Do you find that they hold up to the heat pretty well?Autumnhttp://stfiacregarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-15514000166060150532014-07-01T14:55:26.361-04:002014-07-01T14:55:26.361-04:00We have the opposite of a heat wave here - some re...We have the opposite of a heat wave here - some really cold nights (about 8 or 9 C). As regards double-peeling of Broad Beans, I have never felt that the effort is justifiable. I suppose it might be if you had old tough, shop-bought beans, but surely it's not necessary with good home-grown ones?Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
