Harvest Time

I think this is my first post in August - on the last day.  And I've been home most of the month but just busy in the garden.  It's been a good year for doing projects because I'm not doing much other volunteer work.  Off to the Food Hub this pm to donate the potatoes we grew at the Community Garden.   I need to bring in the rest of the onions and beets from my plot because our fence project is scheduled to begin in mid-September.  This year, the peaches have been the item that has done well in our garden and we've canned 14 quarts and I've frozen 3 large bags full.  We'll see how well we like the frozen peaches (first attempt) but we've really enjoyed the peaches baked and I think that will work well with frozen peaches.   We don't peel our peaches when canning any longer and they really do turn out quite well.  I wish I'd known that 30 years ago!
