12 pints of ketchup canned today. The hubby LOVES ketchup. Last year I canned 24 pints and it wasn't enough to take him through a year. This year I am going to do 30 and hope that does the job. Thank heavens I have a lot of @ballcanning jars! That's about 40lbs of tomatoes in those jars. . . #canning #ballcanning #ketchup #homemadeketchup #organictomatoes #groworganic #growyourownfood #puttingfoodby #montanagardening #montanagarden #catsup #condiments (at Riverbend, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boij-KUgu_I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fehca32i25ov

This is the time of year for stunning colors, abundant harvest, and a fun little dance of watching the weather to find out if the tender garden plants need to be covered to protect their scrumptious goods. And, thankfully, we’re stills enjoying fresh picked tomatoes in western Montana! 💙 . #tomatoes #freshpicked #gardenfresh #gardening #vegetablegarden #veggiegarden #fruitsandveggies #organicgardening #montanagarden #victorygarden #colorfulfood #growyourownfood #growgardensnotlawns #globaleats #thefeedfeed #foodenthusiast #foodphotography #foodpic #foodblogger #foodblog #blogger #bloggerlife #blogging #blog #canonphotography #canonrebelt7 (at Stevensville, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUajuAnv7Aa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunday Summer Garden Update! I haven’t shared a lot this year about my veggie garden, but we had a little harvest today. The carrot greenery is so pretty!😍 . #montanagarden #montanagardener #supershortgrowingseason #allthelettucesbolted (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChiZsoFvy9b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I didn’t start anything from seed this year which is unusual for me. But the veggies are going in! I’ll direct sow the rest. #montanagarden #montanagardening #montanagardener #yepitsjuneandimjustnowplanting #shortgrowingseason (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeuEdL0v7yN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another Montana spring update! Some ruffled petal tulips bloomed today. Also the ivory pillar is in full leaf, I think that’s a flower way up at the top, and the plum looks like she’s going to have leaves to go with those lovely little flowers after all. Mowing felt more like haying, it had grown up over the kids knees. #montanaspring #montanagarden #montanagardener (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeR_w86vokS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunday evening, I think we hit our high of 37F. Lil’ buds haven’t done much and we haven’t gotten any moisture looking like “April Showers” tho it’s supposed to snow this week. The slow start to spring is one of the hardest things about being a #montanagardener. Ivory Pillar Lilac, Pipestone Plum, and a euonymus I can’t remember but has lovely pinky-purple leaves. Hopefully. I’m going to start watering if we don’t get the snow. . #gardensofinstagram #montanagarden #montanaspring (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcMH1ZvvMaF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the first spring I’ve had these trees. I’m documenting their waking up because I was told those brown seed looking things are going to be flowers. First images are of the Ivory Pillar Lilac and the last one is a plum. I also have a Euonymus in the fairy garden, but that’ll be in a different post. I got these from Richard @tizergardensandarboretum, may his memory be a blessing. …. #montanaspring #montanagarden #montanagardening (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8ZO4rP8Tc/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s still February in Montana and cold as hell, but I don’t care. I’m starting my flowers now so I can have blooms as early as possible. These celosia and cockscomb are new to me, and the zinnias bloomed late last year. I suspect that had more to do with the soil than the seeds, so I’m going a bit extra this year. I’ll start my veggies in about 6 weeks, as last year I couldn’t put anything outside until the first week of June. . . . #montanagardening #montanagarden #montanalife #gardenersofinstagram (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CadbYC5PLK5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rather large harvest today: three huge romanesco, two smaller ones, a cauliflower, and a fair amount of broccoli. I love the designs found in the romanesco. I almost hate to cut them up. . . #growyourownfood #groworganic #romanesco #organicromanesco #cauliflower #organiccauliflower #broccoli #organicbroccoli #organicvegetables #organicgardening #organicgarden #harvest #puttingfoodby #montanagardening #montanagarden #freezingfood #garden #freshpicked (at Riverbend, Montana)

AD Raw Spice Bar has freshly ground spice blends that can be ordered individually or you can sign up for a subscription . I was sent an assortment of blends; I used the Chaat Masala to flavor the hubby's spaghetti squash tonight. It's a blend of toasted coriander, ajwain, black salt, red chilies, toasted amchoor, asafoetida, paprika, cumin, ginger, black peppercorns, and dried mint. . He really enjoyed the kick it gave to his dinner. . . #rawspicebar #spices #spaghettisquash #groworganic #growyourownfood #organicgarden #montanagarden #subscriptionbox https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Tm3SBAZvk/?igshid=1kx2vpnmec4py
