Quite a rewarding weekend. Checked on the vegie garden, still harvesting tomato's, pumpkin has gone nuts. Still getting beans, got some spuds. Harvested some roadside peaches. Then I bottled the peaches, frozen the tomato's for use later and blanched and frozen the beans. I am hpoing to create some seperate pages with all the steps to preserving foods. Thatway it will be easier for you folk to find them and use this as a resource.
Roadside Peach tree, between Sale & Rosedale

Peaches from the above tree

Garden being devoured by the pumpkin Plant

Some beauties coming along

My Spuds, about 3 varieties in there

7 Year Beans, will grow up to a foot long!

Top & Tail, Blanching, then cooling

once blanched, place on oven tray put in freezer for an hour then put in bag, this keeps them not turning into a huge frozen lump

First Pumpkin of he season ( Cup in for scale) Queensland Blue ( I think)
