Here are some of our garden goodies from the fall 2009. We can't wait to start eating our produce again this year. Looks like we won't have to wait very long, there are already things starting to grow back in our garden and due to the warm winter weather we have begun to plant this year's 2010 garden. Now that I have brought everyone up to speed in our garden [since moving in here in 2008/2009] I can bombard you with our current garden gabble as we getting our 2010 garden growing on the go! Stay tuned.
Learning about preserving, canning and preserving our food. Its such a treat to eat our garden goodies in the winter months. Items included homemade salsa, tomatoe sauce, spaghetti sauce, pickled beans, onions, pickles, canned soups, canned fruits, beans and chard. I don't think we will can chard again this year, as its only absent from the garden for about 2 months before it shoots up again. 
The sunflowers were harvested. Some for eating, some for replanting. Chopped off the heads and let them dry out in the sun. I'd like to find an easier way to get the seeds off the stalk, it seemed to be a lengthly job.
Jerusalem Artichoke. We tried making french fries out of them for our first sampling. We are still getting use to this vegetables' new flavor and texture. While it takes like artichoke in some fashion, this root is a part of the onion family. It grows in plenty and we saved many of the roots and stalk to grow for next year.
A whole lot of goodness. One last pick through the garden to collect the remaining goodness before the frost comes.
We grew squashes of all sorts.Made a bunch into soup and froze it. Jason made a bunch of pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving.
