This is part of my garage right now. We picked from a friend's garden who is out of town and this is part of the bounty; tomatoes, leeks, celery, crab apples, and apples!!!! We got strawberries and ground cherries too. I made jam out of the ground cherries. Looks pretty in the jars.
This turned out sideways but here is a wagon of cabbage. I'm making a couple buckets of sauerkraut this week! Below the cabbage are the largest onions I've ever seen grown in a home garden. Jordan stayed the week with a family who grew these monsters. I love cutting up one onion and getting almost 4 cups. It's so handy. I usually cut 12-15 of my small ones for the same amount.
We made some spaghetti sauce and canned four lonely jars of green beans today. We kept the rest for eating. We've been covering some bushes hoping for a couple more pickings before the season is completely done.
It seems we worked quite a long time and only got 5 quarts of applesauce and a small bowl for eating. Applesauce tends to be a lot of work!
Finally, we made stuffed peppers! We like to have them at least once in the season and tonight was the night. Thanks for the recipe Jan, all those years ago. We sure enjoyed them! Rice, hamburger, onions, tomatoes and cheese.
Love those garden meals! Supper tonight was stuffed peppers, green beans, fried okra, and home made kombucha.
Rebekah, enjoying her home grown meal. I'm going to miss eating this stuff all fresh picked. Winter is upon us :(
We picked up a sickness somewhere and it had a couple kids down for awhile. Isaac is still recovering from it. Gideon is better, just tired and Kevin thinks he has a touch of it but it hasn't laid him low. Isaac is much improved over yesterday when he couldn't eat anything. He's slowly working his way up to some real food. For now it's jello, broth, yogurt and roast chicken and electrolyte. Sure praying it doesn't go "around" the rest of us! Because of it we didn't have the babies we watch and it was kind of quiet. I took a nap even but had a real hard time waking up. My body protested and wanted more! This gardening season is much busier than ever and each week I spend a little less time sleeping and it's getting a little more challenging each day. Three more market days left!!!!! I keep telling the kids October will be more "normal" I hope to be canning some more applesauce then but we won't have bread baking or market picking. Looking forward to that! Anyone have jars they want to get rid of? or know of someone who is done canning? I need a few more to finish off the season:)
