Well it is nearly the end of September and once again we managed to fill our allotted pantry space to capacity. Every year we get a bit more out of the garden and stored for winter and this year is no exception. A few things did not do so well this, like the apples! This is the first year in many that I have no applesauce :-( But we made up for it with more cherries and apricots -thanks to my friends who shared their bounties! We have enough beans this year for many pots of soup, stews, casseroles and chili. More dried fruit than ever. And some news things to try such as naked seeded pumpkin seeds (yummy!) and blue corn for flour! I will be processing tomatoes and pears for a few weeks still and there is still more beans to bring in and shell.
This is the jar of corn for flour - I can't wait to make some cornbread with it!
And part of our pumpkin harvest! There are still 3 more in the garden. These are all volunteers and while it is kind of cool to have them I really would have rather had edible squash in their place!!
Mmmmmmm. . . dried fruit!
