We have been harvesting our garden over the past couple of weeks and have had some interesting finds! Our favorite was this ironic twist with a huge red potato and a little cute butternut squash! We had a great year with our garden this go around and it produced like crazy. We made plenty of fresh salsa, 3-4 batches of jalapeno jelly, 3 batches of relish (which the cucumbers that got lost could have easily been, and often were, mistaken for squash), had excellent fresh corn, and the kids picked all the peas they could find! Although all of this was excellent nothing really compared to the 30+ quarts of grape juice we were able to steam. Homemade grape juice like the stuff we have tastes better than liquid candy. We got both concord and white grape juice and have been spoiled rotten with it. So it has been quite fun as we have definitely had our years of scarcity!

Jenny, it looks like you guys have been plenty busy. How are you feeling? Todd is still a kid with great ambition, I love it!
I'm impressed! Growing a garden and canning impresses me as much as a really big hole.
