I would like to post a picture of my "organic" garden at the end of the harvest - looks more like a weed patch! However, I do have heirloom green beans just blossoming and growing. I hope to get a few more warm sunny days to finish them. I still have some eight-ball squash to harvest, and the white pumpkins. Truly, I found MORE zuchinni still on the plant! Other than those veggies, our garden is done.
I canned 18 quarts of green beans, 4 pints of refridgerator dill pickle slices, 7 quarts of dill pickle spears, 3 quarts of peaches, 3 quarts of pears, 13 pints of spagetti sauce, 6 quarts of tomato & basil (thanks to Mom! she canned those with me!), and 7 half-pints of banana peppers. It's been fun, but am very happy that my tomatoes are about gone. I probably have enough to make a bit of salsa.
Huge Thanks! to my sister-in-the-Lord, Penny Noll, who helped me tremendously in the canning department with her time, advise, and green beans.
Waiting for the rest of the picked pears to ripen, and will can some more. Dan really likes the pears in the winter. Abigail and I need to go pick some more apples and make sauce.
