Carrots, Tomatoes and Jars, Oh My!

DSC_0002_edited-2

Hello there,

If you follow my blog you probably already know that I love to grow and can my own veggies.  I’m not going to lie to you, it’s hard work.  Boy is it worth it though in the Winter when you are eating your canned vegetables that taste very near what they tasted like right out of the garden with no preservatives and other yucky chemicals added.

Have you ever thought of the energy that it takes a gardener to grow and preserve their harvest.  As I was canning this week that was very much on my mind.  For instance, this is what I did to eventually have dozens of jars of carrots for Winter.

Prepared the garden for seeding, planted the seeds, spent months watering and weeding those carrots.

Dug them up.

Scrubbed them until they were gleaming.DSC_0001_edited-1

Peeled and chopped them up.

Canned them and then sat back for a just a moment and marveled at what I had achieved, because it was off to the next canning project, Spaghetti Sauce.

Many, many jars of Spaghetti Sauce and Salsa that used up many of the tomatoes, onions and peppers that I grew.. .. . . . .Pears should be ripe soon, grin.  I just love this!

So that is what I have been up to for the past few days.  So how does your garden grow?
