Summer Garden Harvest With Recipes

It has truly been an outstanding summer garden harvest this year. We had early and late rain's along with cooler temperatures that we had never had in recorded weather history for our area so we really didn't know what to expect in the final outcome of the harvest. We have had what the farmers would call a bumper crop. In order to keep up with the harvest we have kept the canner's going full steam ahead. I am excited to share with you the summer garden harvest time.

Many Of The Vegetables That We Preserve Are Found In Our Row Corp Area Of Our Garden. As The Seasons Change

 We Will Plant Different Vegetables.

These Are Our Summer Vegetables For The Row Crop Area

I have really enjoyed having my husband Leonard in the garden more since he retired earlier this year. Here he is in the middle of the green bean rows picking beans. When we have enough to fill the jars then we can them.
