End of Summer Gardening

sunflower fieldGood morning everyone! Today’s post will be quick and sweet. For those of you looking for Jenelle’s wedding photos, check back on Friday morning for that post. It will have photos & wedding details! We had a great time!

Summer is coming to an end which means harvest is in full swing around here. Both of our gardens did extremely well and we are still getting a lot of goodies from the garden which I have been cooking up, freezing and/or canning for winter.

Right now we have an abundance of tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, squash, red beets and a few other things. Plus, we have been picking apples from our apple tree for the past two weeks & canning homemade applesauce and apple butter.

The sunflowers will be ready in a few weeks and hubby loves roasted & toasted sunflower seeds. Do you like munching on them?

How did your garden do this past season? I would love to hear about it. In a few weeks we will be planting some flower bulbs for spring blooming (tulips & daffodils) and are getting ready for that.

    You do so much all the time. I get tired just reading about all you accomplish. I too like sunflower seeds but have never planted them. I do not have an outdoors garden, but perhaps in the future.

  2. I have some sunflower seeds in shell I’m working on now. I love sunflowers and had a little patch of them in my garden at one time. So bright and sunny.

  3. So glad to hear the wedding went well! I’ll be sure to check back on Friday for the details. Thanks for letting us peek into your life. 🙂

    I’m amazed that in the middle of that happy, busy time, you’ve been harvesting and putting up your garden’s bounty! Where do you get the energy?

    I’ve still got a lot of canned applesauce, apple butter, apple jelly, and spiced apples from last year, so I don’t know that I’ll do much with this year’s apples. My little container garden did pretty poorly this year. I’m getting a few grape tomatoes, but the flowers went nowhere, and the herbs didn’t flourish, either, although they’re growing well enough that I’ll bring them indoors for the winter.
