The End

I worked very hard today on all the garden vegetables. I wrapped all my big green tomatoes in newspaper and place them in a tote. That way, we will have fresh tomatoes for a while longer. Then I made some more green tomato pickles & hot pepper sauce. I also cut up all of my bell pepper and froze it. I canned most of my red tomatoes. I saved some for us to eat this weekend and some to take to my granny tomorrow. I also made homemade soup. I shelled all of the peas and cooked some for supper and froze the rest. I fried a pan of okra and froze the rest of it. All that is left in my garden now is the okra, that is still growing, but is slowing down. I also have my cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower that is still growing, but will not require a lot of work. I also cooked some turnip greens out of my daddys garden. The grandchildren were amazed at how full the pan was and once they were cooked, how little there was. I tried to get them to taste of them, but they would not have any. We had a very good supper that was right out of my garden. Well, I consider this "THE END" of my vegetable garden until next year as far as canning & freezing. I have really enjoyed it, but I have to say I am ready for the break.
