Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Last Harvest of Season

I haven't posted for awhile, and wanted to wish you God's blessings as we celebrate Christmas and the New Year.  When I was looking for something on my desktop, I noticed I had exported photos of the last vegetable harvest October 20th, that I never got posted.  I'll share some of those photos here.

The peppers were late producing, but gave me enough to chop several bags worth for the freezer.  I have been enjoying them in soups and chili.  Some of these, I ended up freezing whole.  I forgot about that until I came across them today.  I almost tossed them, but decided I would try to get them used.  I'll have to partially thaw them before trying to cut them.

My onion harvest was not as good as usual this year.  A number of them bolted before getting a decent size.  These were purchased from a farmer's market.

Oh, these were from the farmer's market, too.  I didn't even grow any potatoes this year because I wanted to give the soil a break.

The sweet potatoes were from my garden!  We still have a few of them.  I cut the small ones into strips, put them in a bowl with a little olive oil and I think, Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy seasoning, and roasted them in the oven.  They were pretty good.  Guess where I got the squash?  I can't grow squash, because of vine borers.

 Some of the tomatoes spoiled before we got them eaten.  I ate the last one just a couple weeks ago, though.

When we had our kitchen remodeled to make it more functional a year and a half ago, we had this cupboard put in.  I sure am enjoying it!

This is the open shelving that I requested above the cupboard.  I must have brought the houseplants in the same day I got the last harvest.

I enjoyed eating pole beans this year.  I don't recall growing them successfully before.  I got enough for a few meals from just 2 or 3 plants.

For some reason, I didn't get the photos of the carrots exported.  Grandson and I picked some from across the street around this time.  Oh, and I got a very nice harvest of garlic that we have been using in our cooking.  There should be a good harvest next year, too, as I got some cloves replanted at the right time.

I hope to get some blogs visited over the next couple of weeks.  I also need to get some organizing done around here.  I think I'm almost over the bug that caused me to not have much energy over the last week.  I hope all is well with all you bloggers out there.
