Today's Harvest

Can you believe this is just one day's bounty!!! The rain we had the last few weeks has really paid off in great gardens this year. A few days ago, I picked wild blackberries too!!!! The tomatoes are SLOWLY turning red and there are a ton of them, so when they hit I will be canning , canning, canning! My freezer is getting full of corn on the cob, cream corn and cut corn. I have also frozen a bunch of peaches, canned some pickled AND spiced beets. In addition, I put up some zucchini relish and bread and butter pickles. And the grapes you see in the picture are soooo sweet!!! When I think back on how difficult it was to grow a garden in California, I am so glad to be here. Life is good in Ohio.
