In The Garden This Week

Lots of new additions, and subtractions to the garden this week.  We managed to pick three huge tomatoes along with a dozen or so Jalapeno peppers.  We figured that the best way to get the most bang for our investment is to start canning our harvests.

We purchased the starter canning set along with a dozen pint jars.  After searching the internet for recipes and instructions we started the sterlization process.  It was a relatively easy thing to do with the right tools. 

 We are really pleased with the gardens progress and can't wait to pick more tomatoes and peppers and eventually carrots and onions.  We have also been freezing a ton of pesto.  And of course eating stuff from the garden as well - homemade salsa verde is now one of our favorites.
