Here are some of my recent canning adventures with local fruit and vegetables from my garden. I love the feeling of having all this in store for the winter. I know it isn't the most cost effective, but I love that I did it, and that it is homemade. There is nothing like opening a jar of salsa from your own garden when it is snowing outside!
This picture is of one of our harvest trips from our city plot garden. Mr. Man loves to bring home all the veggies.
These are carrots from our backyard garden. They are so tasty! They grew so much better and longer in the loose, composty soil here rather than the clay soil at the city garden plot.

If you have ever grown beans, you know that they are almost always plentiful, as you can see here. This was our second year growing onions- we have had a great harvest! (These were the early "thinnings")
Lovely!! We didn't have a garden this year,though we hope to next year. There was just too much on our plate. Those carrots really do look fabulous! So plump and juicy!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you and wondering how homeschool is going for you. I started a blog just for our homeschool this year, hoping it will help me keep track of what we do and help me document our efforts. I have a link to it from my main blog (on the sidebar) if you are interested.
Enjoy your harvest!
Wow--that's amazing!! And gorgeous. Those carrots are huge! And I would love your salsa recipe if you'd like to share.
