August is busy here as we have started back to school, plus we are canning and preserving all we can from the garden. We have been making pickles and pickled onions (as we have a TON of onions this year). Today we are working on pickle relish. Tomorrow it will be peach preserves and frozen peach slices for pies and smoothies!
Here is a picture of Bread and Butter Pickles (they look yellow because the cucs are a yellow variety). Also, red onions in red wine vinegar.
Rosemary harvested from the garden. I washed it, made sure it was dry, then put it in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer. This tastes more like fresh than dried.
Another batch of green beans are starting to produce. Love succession planting!
A cantalope from the garden. This is the biggest we have been able to grow, and it came out of the Square Foot Garden. It was soooo good. Way better than anything from the store!
A view of the inside. I'm going to try saving the seeds from it this year to plant next spring. Should be interesting...I'll keep you posted.
