There are going to be three distinct sections in this post. I feel like I haven't been blogging very much lately, but a lot has been happening here, so this will be a big over-view. The first section is the garden. The picture above is a Rudbeckia flower. It looks fake, but it's not! Since the rain things have been doing well, and we have been harvesting a ton of produce and giving a lot away.
Daily harvests over the past week!
Companion planting with Soybeans, Dahlias and Black Eyed Susan's (left). And Verbena, Russet Potatoes, Dill and Rudbeckia (right).
Second planting of beets getting big.
The second part of this post is going to be about our preserving projects. I have been doing my best to preserve everything so that we don't waste any of our crops (or I give it away so other people can enjoy it). This week we have done a lot of canning. The main dilemma I have been having is finding room in our refrigerator to keep things until we use them. It's gotten a little crazy in there...

Hot Garden Salsa. We have tried this and it's delicious!
Baba Ghanoush
Spiced Peach Preserves...but I don't think this set.
Tomato Sauce
And finally the third update is on our dinners. They have been amazing due to all the fresh produce picked minutes before they go into the pot. I couldn't resist sharing these.
