I love sunflowers too and I love the way the canned goods look in the window!

Yes, that green jar is a Blenko vase!

I don’t have an ice cream maker (yet) and I’ve never made homemade ice cream. I’m hoping to get one soon and start trying recipes!

Suzanne,
I spy….(and will you see this post?)
Is that a Blenko (green) jar in you greenhouse window….?
Just love WV glass……..

PS…The corn puddin’ turned out good…yummm
PSS..Question: Do you make homemade ice cream?
Ponder: Would you hand crank it…or electrify it…and do you use raw eggs..and scald or no eggs…and do you have a tried and true good recipe?

“Purty” sunflowers…
Love your garden window…..I can envision it full of African Violets, Gloxzinas (sic) or a delicate miniature fern or two…
I always wanted one of those windows, on the North side, for bright-light but no sun-flowers (no pun intended)…
PS… plant slave here….
PSS…every country woman needs a dime-store violet growing…like Grandmas’………..

I used the “zesty salsa” recipe out of the Ball Blue Book of Canning.

I love your sunflowers! I didn’t get around to planting mine this year, but thankfully I have about 20 volunteers from last years dropped seeds. Of course ALL of them are the giant kind. I’ll let them dry and then store them to hang out on the front porch for the cardinals this winter.

I live in the city and have DSL through AT and T, and it is always slow. Maybe not as slow as yours there but still very slow many many times. I never know how long it will take to pull up anything and sometimes it just locks up and quits. I have to shut down. Not sure if that is DSL or my laptop.

Which salsa recipe did you use?
