This afternoon I went out to the farm and picked up the share. Even though I didn't pick up everything, I came home with: an acorn squash, 2 pounds of beets, leeks, scallions, a head of lettuce, 1 kohlrabi, 1 cabbage, 3 pounds of potatoes, 2 heads of garlic, 2 eggplant, 8 peppers, 10 hot peppers, dill, cilantro, parsley, green beans, a watermelon, a half-peck of apples, and way too many tomatoes.
Since skinning and canning the tomatoes last week turned out to be pretty easy, I decided to do that again. I had a bunch of plum tomatoes and a bunch of small slicing ones. I was able to get 2 quarts of each type, canned whole.
As to the rest, I think I might see how far we can get with just eating everything and then, before the next pick up, have another marathon canning session.
