I will try to do an overview of individual crop totals soon, as well as what worked and what didn't turn out so great this year.

  2. Lovely harvest Granny. I notice you use the same scissors that I do in the garden. I like the orange handles that are easy to find as I leave them all over the place.

  5. What a great harvest Granny! I think that you are going to be busy taking care of those harvests before leaving!

    You should not worry about doing an overview until you get to Arizona. You have a lot to do and have had a very emotional day today. So, please take it as easy as you can.

  11. Gee I guess I fell behind this week on following the harvest blogs. Looks like overall you had a good week.

    Noticed you mentioned on Thursday's Cupboard that you frozen beets. WE used to do them that way but never in their own juice but I never cared for them frozen.

    Sorry to hear about Cookie.
