June and July were busy months with three trips, trying to stay cool in the heat, canning and freezing things from the garden, working, etc.
I canned lots of green beans.
We had lots of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, squash and corn. Then the weather got so hot and dry the veggies just didn't do so well.
I did freeze a lot of sweet Georgia corn.
I'm already thinking about next year's garden. Raised beds. Some kind of watering system. More flowers.
The flowers usually start looking better in August. It starts cooling off and raining more.
When I retire I want to have a vegetable garden. Right now I only have time for flowers and herbs. We do have one little tomato plant. All your veggies look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby does the hard part of the gardening. He likes it he grew up in KY and his dad was a coal miner. They raised as much of their food as they can.
DeleteI want to retire in the next year or two so want to can and freeze as much as I can. I can't talk him into chickens though.:)
Nothing like good veggies any time you want some. I never did can but my mother used to and we'd have veggies and blackberries all winter long! :)

Thanks for stopping by. I've been canning since the summer after I got married. I really like it. I want to grow even more things next year.
DeleteRenee, your green beans look beautiful to me! Wish my husband had planted green beans in our garden this year. Have a great week!

Oooh! I'd love to be sitting at your table with all of these fresh veggies. Those canned green beans look so good.
