Wow! Thank you for sharing all the photos from such a wonderful garden.
For canning, a good resource is the latest edition of the Ball Blue book. It has the latest information to make it possible to can safely.

Thanks for the tip. I do have the Ball book along with four or five other books... that's our big non-frugal weakness; books!Quote:

These are great photos. I wanted to comment earlier but couldn't get the thread to load. I love seeing people's gardens.
I am a bit of a gardenaholic myself. Loved your photos. Any new ones to share?
Thanks! I'll get a few more tonight or tomorrow and update the thread. I'm at war with grass right now (just took out about 50 sq feet and put in prairie wild flowers plus some other low maintenance plantings). and our cheddar cauliflower is making a head!Quote:

Some were an early season, some were a mid-season, and some just didn't look healthy enough to finish out the season. We don't have a great way to weigh them but we brought in just over 7 gallons ranging in size from about as big as my fist to about as small as a pea. We damaged the skin on some of them so we'll be eating those over the next couple weeks.
This was our first time digging potatoes and we didn't really know what the heck we were doing. We gave some away to our next door neighbors, some to neighbors walking by, and some to a guy who stopped by looking for a lost cat (we got his cat for him too). This is what was left after the give aways.

DW planted cheddar cauliflower. It's starting to form now. Will be fun to harvest!
You have inspired me to get out my camera. I had such fun seeing your garden, I will share mine. As soon as my son can show me how to get the photos on here I'll post some more garden porn. :)
Magnificent!!! The Cheddar Cauliflower looks sooo darn yummy!
