husband & I have been working our plot of garden all summer.
around march/april we tilled the garden, added 8 bags of manure then tilled twice more
in may after mother’s day we got our plant on: white sweet corn – 3 rows // peppers – 2 1/2 rows (green, banana, jalapeno, habanero) // tomatoes – 1/2 row (beef steak, tommy toe, roma) // cucumbers – 2 plans // squash & zucchini – 6 plants
let me tell you that the manure must have made a difference because daaaang this year’s crop was cray! we tried our hand at canning in a hot water bath this year and it’s really not that difficult just a bit time consuming. we blanched tomatoes then diced and canned them. we made homemade salsa with our tomatoes and peppers, we froze our corn and other peppers, we chopped and blanched the squash and zucchini then froze in vacuum seal bags
our deep freezer is stuffed full! cannot wait to make some yummy casseroles and soups and stews this winter time and to add our canned tomatoes to spaghetti sauce
we’ve canned our last batch of pickled jalapenos and banana peppers Sunday night and although we loved our garden we are more than happen to have our evenings back for working inside the house – cannot wait until next growing season!
