Beans, Beets, Herbs,Pickles and Relish

The last 2 weeks have been full of harvesting green beans, beets, making pickles, drying herbs and preserving relish! It's alot of work, but oh so very worth it when you can eat home grown vegetables in the middle of our Manitoba winter. Here are some photos of what we've been up to. The beans and cucumbers are needing attention every 3 days right now. The herbs have been harvested 3 times so far. Our pantry and deep-freezer are looking more and more full every passing week. I love harvest time. (watch here for our old-time harvest story, with a 100 year old threshing machine and very itchy grain...coming soon)
