It’s been a fantastic garden season for us this year! We’ve had a wonderful crop of beans, beets, potatoes, peas, onions and sweet corn. We’ve also had a rather surprising pumpkin crop with our current count of 35 pumpkins – the largest of which was 55 lbs. Our boys are hoping to sell some for spending money but I have to admit that I love when we can place jack-o-lanterns up and down the drive way on Halloween night (and 35 is just the right number!). Last year my husband took two large jack-o-lanterns and hung them from large tree branches near our road. It looked fantastic driving by at night and seeing the illuminated faces on the pumpkins hanging! We’ll write more on that closer to the big day.

However, since it is prime potato harvest season and our garden produced a bumper crop we’ll have potatoes for months! Here’s a great recepie for a dill sauce – which we use on potatoes (like a gravy) but also is recommended for vegetables or over roast pork, beef or veal. It’s super easy and very delicious.

Dill Sauce with Sour Cream

2 TBSP butter or margerine
2 TBSP all purpose flour
1 cup broth or boullion
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
salt – if delired

Melt butter or margerine in small skillet; stir in flour. Cook over medium heat until mixture bubbles. Blend in broth or bullion brining to a boil – stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Stir in sour cream & dill. Serve warm!
ENJOY

Well we just finished getting our potatoes in. They are Norland which are supposed to be better than Pontiac. I should say better because the Pontiac (red potato) has deep set eyes and if you ‘ve ever tried to peel potatoes you know how tuff that can be. The myth, rule of thumb, old husband’s tale (as my wife likes to call it) is that you are supposed to plant your potatos on good friday. The thought being the potato will resurect itself at some point in the future. I hope I’m don’t sound irreverent here but I do think that potatos rising from their beds with out the aid of my shovel would be a joyous miracle. Anyway. My wife found this incredilbe dill sause recipe from when we had gone to Poland a few years ago. She makes it with new potatoes and it is dellicious!
