I had veggies in frig I needed to use up. I grabbed a jar and made these into pickled veggies. The peppers, green beans and cherry tomatoes are from my garden. I made a brine using rice vinegar, added whole green pepper corns, dill, raw garlic, salt, table sugar, onion powder and water. This jar will have to rest in frig til Sat. I have made a hot version of this brine with sweet peppers from my garden.

I used to make end-of-the summer antipasto with the garden veggies. The final garden meal was to make a beer batter and deep fry anything that was left over, which isn't healthy now but was sure good back then. I miss not having a garden.

Tara, your jar of veggies is beautiful. I must confess I haven't met a jar I didn't like and wanted to save. Overtime I have learned I can't hang on to all of them so I do my best to keep only the ones I will use or are really special.

I love my old canning jars. They line my kitchen counters filled with beans and such.

Tara -- let me know how the squash turns out -- sounds good.

I was cleaning up small freezer. I knew there were chicken frames in bottom and everything needed to be taken out. I had bags and bags of frozen tomatoes. I went and got bathroom scale. I have 55 pounds of tomatoes!!!! I am so happy!!! I have enjoyed growing too many tomatoes this summer. I wish I had kept track of how many pounds we ate fresh , used on pizza and how much I had cooked for soup. In August I put 20 cups of tomato soup in freezer. I wanted to have enough tomatoes in freezer for soups, pasta and pizza sauce. I never expected 55 pounds. I have planned to grow more varieties next year. I'm sure many of y'all freeze a lot more than me.

Your applesauce looks very good and your tomato harvest sounds like it was a great success. How many plants did you have and what varieties?

Ladies,
I am pleased to have good food in the pantry.
The Ponderosa lemon survived the hurricane. The wind knocked the tree over, lost 6 lemons but several made it. The blooms are a wonderful scent. Outside in the sun during day and inside my garage with grow lights at night

I'm glad you saved the lemon tree. I love the smell of citrus blossoms.
