Summer Harvesting


It's time to start raking in the vegetables and fruit - it's been a dry summer so some of the veggies aren't looking so great.  Being gone for the last three weeks didn't help.  Lost some tomatoes, zucchini just isn't doing well, pumpkins are struggling and the potatoes are on the small side - but what we lack in size we make up in quantity.  It was hot out but we dug up all our potatoes and despite how dry it's been the blackberries look better then ever.  We washed and dried the potatoes and put them into paper bags to store.  We washed all the berries and put freezer bags of them in the freezer and made a large ball jar of blackberry jam to use immediately.  We will start more bread and butter pickles next weekend.
