We have had an abundant harvest out of our little garden, and
with limited freezer space, I tried out canning this year. A few
batches of salsa, some crushed tomatoes, blueberry pie filling,
lots of peaches, and some peach jam. I'm sure we'll enjoy
these in the coming months! Looks like another batch of salsa is on the schedule...homegrown
tomatoes, onions, green peppers and jalapenos, and garlic cloves from
the neighbour next door. The only thing I didn't grow was the vinegar :)
Peter loves to "help" me pick the vegetables, especially the cherry
tomatoes. I usually end up with a good number of small, green tomatoes
and little marigold buds in my basket. No worries, there are lots to spare
It's so nice having a park so close! We've enjoyed it a lot this summer.
This is Aaron's first time in the swing, and he really liked it
