Gardening and Canning

This year we were extremely blessed with a garden that wouldn't stop growing. Because we have so much I decided that I should probably do some canning. We planted tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, peppers, and pumpkins and they all have done extremely well (it looks like a jungle now because everything has gotten so big). Today Amy came over and taught me how to make and can salsa (thanks!) and I would really love to do tomatoes and maybe some spaghetti sauce.

I have no idea how our peppers got this big. They look like something you buy from the store.Our tomatoes got huge! The one next to the big one is what a normal size tomato looks like. (This isn't the greatest picture.)Yeah! They all sealed! Thanks again Amy.

We have 6 good sized pumpkins and about 15-20 cantaloupes that are growing still. I can't wait to try the cantaloupes. Next year I want to do even more!!
