From the Garden Today - September 17, 2013

Today, we didn't pick anything from the garden.  But, we did use some of the produce from the garden.


We grew cantaloupe in our garden.

They didn't get very big, but actually produced a bit of fruit.  We picked them a couple days ago, and let them sit out until they got ripe.  They were ready to be cut up today and eaten.

They were suprisingly better than I thought they would be.  Sometimes the cantaloupe we grow tastes like dirt, but these didn't have much of a dirt taste.  They were nice and ripe and juicy.

The other day we chopped up a ton of tomatoes to can.  We canned seven jars, but only 6 of them actually sealed.  

I can't wait to try them in chili or spaghetti.

We still have a lot more tomatoes, so I think I want to try canning more tomatoes.
