It's been a good garden year. I had to be gone all of August, which threw a bit of a wrench in things, but even so, I was able to can corn, green beans, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, green beans with potatoes and sweet pickle relish. We got to eat a lot of wonderful sweet corn, and dug 140 pounds of Irish potatoes and about a bushel and a half of sweet potatoes. I froze lots of sliced okra, which I enjoy using in soups and stir-fry with rice. My Garden Fairy planted 5 rows of dry beans, and it seems, as she's finishing up shelling them that she'll have about 4 gallons of the beans which are a combination of Navy, Pinto, and Black beans. So, overall, it's been a great year!
Today was my last harvest, as it will definitely frost tonight. Here it is!
You have been busy! Your last harvest is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMelynda, thank you very much! I get so few comments and this made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI am truly impressed. We have been so dry, the only thing we attempted this year was some potted tomatoes on the patio, and didn't get many. Of course, that could be because we caught the dog stealing them as they ripened! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen. I'm sorry your conditions have been so dry that you couldn't grow much. Funny dog! :)
