Garden Update, June 17th

So sorry for the lapse in updates! I haven't been very good about updating. We've been busy and honestly, there's a lot I should still be doing right now instead of blogging! Oh, well!

Everything has really taken off. May was SUPER HOT here! I think our spring veggies had no idea what was going on.  I'll take you on a little photographic update of what's going on in the garden this week!

 Carrots are growing!

The process of preserving has begun. I actually don't like eating plain bell peppers, but like to have them on hand do use in things. Easiest way to keep them from going bad is to slice them into strips and freeze them individually on a cookie sheet and then put them in an air tight container. That way they don't freeze into a clump and you can pull out whatever you need as you need them. Same for jalapenos. I just recommend using gloves when you clean and slice them. Learned that the hard way!
