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.
