Garden Gluttony

I recently read a newspaper called Garden Gluttony. I think that might be a good description of us this summer. Not only did we plant a lot of vegetables (18 tomato plants) but they all did amazingly well this summer. We had so many tomatoes that I even canned some this year which I haven't done for a long time!







But were we content with that, no, of course not! When we dug up our potatoes, we planted again in the empty space. So, we are still getting some veggies from the garden! We have a second batch of radishes for salad along with some spinach that we just planted a few weeks ago. Swiss chard is still coming and the tomatoes that we pulled off the plants last weekend are slowly ripening inside. We made chili again tonight with fresh tomatoes. In addition to all the stuff in the freezer we are still enjoying fresh potatoes, onions, rosemary and sage from the garden - yummy!
I love heading into the winter with a pantry and freezer full of good food.
