Bountiful Harvest

  I love when Fall arrives and with it comes so much beauty as well as harvesting your wonderful fresh garden vegetables. This is my first year to have a garden in 12 yrs. I actually got a really late start on it after my eye surgery ,so things didn't get planted until the middle of July and into August!
   I am already reaping the benefits of the hard work we put into planting tomatoes , green beans , zucchini, peas, yellow squash. The okra, cantaloupe and watermelon are just now starting to produce and hopefully we will get to enjoy them soon as well. The pumpkins on the other hand I don't know if we will get to see them get very big before the cold weather sets in. Right now they are just starting to get a little pumpkin bud on them :)
 Today I spent time chopping , shredding , and blanching vegis to freeze for the winter. Here are a few pics of the process

Chopping tomatoes to freeze too !




So that sums up what I got accomplished today . Along with the windows opened it made for a beautiful Fall day . I was able to put away quite a bit and  I'm looking forward to seeing more vegis produce in my little garden!
