Where, oh WHERE to begin????
Summer. Gardening. Amish Paste Tomatoes and Tongue of Flame dried beans. Here is a basket full of goodness. Altogether I harvested and processed 4 Cups of the beans (after they were shelled out) and 7 pints of canned tomato sauce, and about 10 pints of frozen tomato sauce. Green beans were good, too. This is the result of just one picking. I have quite a lot of beans in the freezer, two different varieties, Blue Lake bush and Italian Pole. I packaged most of them in portions for 2 people. I have also purchased sweet corn and froze a bunch of that as well... but that was kind of cheating and not organic like the things that I grew myself. I have also grown and froze a few bags of peas! Pesto made from basil that I grew from seed! Potatoes were another really good crop, we ended up with 1 and 1/2 bushels! Here is just a sample: Onions, peppers and cucumbers were better than usual, and here is what I did with some of them:
