Harvest Time

Boy have we had the veggies rolling in!  We've had so much that we spent most of Sunday freezing our produce!  We have another batch of pole beans to pick and a lot more turnips to get in as well, but it's been raining for two days.  Bad for harvesting, but the garden is loving the wet weather!


This is just part of the harvest!  We have really been enjoying the fresh veggies!  You can see we also have blackberries and another batch of strawberries is coming in as well!

The freezing went really well, too.

2 pots going - one for the blanching and one full of ice water
I used a basket for the blanching - it made it easy!
After they are blanched and cooled, they drain
We used our foodsaver to get all the air out of the bags
Ready for the freezer!

We did pole beans, bush beans and yellow squash! 

And the garden is just looking great!


I expect we'll have corn soon!
So the garden is doing just great!  I will keep you posted!
