Harvest time!

The frost bit us early this year! Time to harvest! We canned green salsa (we had lots of green tomatoes), jalapeño salsa (lots of jalapeños), and decided to try canning some ham and bean soup. I had already made pickles since our cucumbers did really well this year. We grew a couple really nice watermelons and cantaloupe. We also got a few pumpkins. The kids picked and shucked corn a few weeks ago while I cut and froze it. They did 90 ears (yes, they counted)! We enjoyed zucchini and green beans for the last 2 months. We have a lot of spaghetti and banana squash again. We are still pulling carrots, beets, turnips and potatoes out of the ground. I'd say we had a great harvest!
