Abundantly

it is a different September

because of our garden

I do believe September is the new January

everything starts anew and I am not used to all these

tomatoes and trying to keep up with

freezing them as they turn red

in the garden

I am not a canner!

So instead I boil the skins off for 45 secs in boiling water then plopped them in
ice water and the skins fall off (neat) and then I squeeze out the

seeds and juice gently with my hands

and place them into a freezer bag

then  I am putting them in the

coldest part of my deep freezer.
It says they can last up to 12 months like this.

(keep the bags airtight)

Then all the corn cobs had to be brought in 

and we husked them and boiled the cobs, culled the niblets off

and put them in freezie bags

now there are carrots to freeze

they are HUGE.  It's too much for just hubby and I
Food Bank maybe?

So I am a rookie with harvesting a garden
and some of you are canners and die-hards with how to
keep your vegetables lasting through the winter(s).
We will do things differently next year like thinning out the carrot plants
more consistently, and maybe planting 3 tomato plants instead of 6.

Anyway the garden is a good thing and it seems
in this country we can grow our own food in abundance!
