Photo drop update

My ipod died a while back so the updates have been lacking.  I will also fully admit to being too damn busy to keep up with this blog but I will try harder... Maybe.   I should have pictures of our garden before the tour in all its glory but nope. Now the garden is in transition to fall. I also should have more pics of what we have canned/preserved but I forget to take pictures while I am in the middle of a project. So this is what you get.  A bunch of random pictures. Enjoy! 

Zucchini getting ready to freeze. 

The beginnings of peach nectarine ice cream. 

Pickles and dill beans. 

One nights harvest/work. 

On days harvest. All from one cherry tomato plant. Zukes that got lost in the garden. 

Peppers for salsa. 

Tomatoes for salsa. 

I also made my first zucchini bread this year. We froze a ton of zucchini. Everything but the cilantro and lime juice  for the salsa came from the garden. Now summer is fading and fall will soon be here. Already have red kale dino kale spinach and broccoli planted. Have some pie pumpkins to harvest and garlic to plant. Lets see if I can keep up with this blog. 

Harvest/Jam

The fruits of our labor have started to show up.  Now we have to deal/process them.  

This is our second picking of the raspberries. The first was one full bowl of mixed golden and red berries. 

This time the wife wanted to try and do a straight batch of golden raspberry jam. 

Eight cups of beauty right here.

Here us the finished product. The first harvest produced 4 pints.  The jam is so good. The golden jam taste great although it does look some what strange.  I likened it to canned tuna. Next time we may take out the seeds in order to get a sexier finished product. But like I said, it tastes great. 

Next up for processing...the snap peas. The peas are so good and abundant. Got  this bowl picked.  This bowl is about 18 inches in diameter.  We got the peas all chopped up no we just need to blanch and freeze.
