After getting a late start to planting this season, we were quite excited to tally the numbers at the end of the year in order to discover how much we harvested. The foods we froze and canned were a combination of our garden and my mother's garden. We were so excited to be able to get our garden started this year as we missed last year's growing season due to the move and constant renovation on our current home.

It was quite a year for us after taking a break from gardening last year. We are so excited with what we were able to harvest and very surprised at the abundance of eggplant (Black Beauty variety) produced this year. The Mister is already planning a garden expansion and together, we are selecting varieties to plant next year. It won't be long before planting season is here! I can hardly wait!
