More homesteading behaviors

I'm not sure of the order of the following pictures but in essence, Michelle and I recently processed 40 pounds of peaches ad another 20 pounds of tomatoes... we now have more salsa! From cutting to boiling, and from canning to jamming, we have some stocked shelves and holiday gifts perhaps taken care of!

 Two boxes of peaches, one of tomatoes.
 Before they started to get moldy!
 Cut 'em
 Bag 'em
 Salsa from last month
 Freeze 'em... in there is some corn from last month and 15 pounds of blueberries!
 Pesto and frozen figs too. More corn
Peach jam
 Getting out the last bit
 Wow, so pretty.
 Decorative pumpkins.... Michelle thought we'd get some sugar pumpkins but the starts were mis-labeled!
 Squashes from the garden
 Finished batch of salsa (round #2)
 Like a Red Army
Now we just need tortillas and taco fixings
 Dinner at Barbara and Jyoti's last night (quesadillas)
And peach crisp for dessert!

We have eaten a lot of greens this summer... gardening is incredible. And Michelle has poured a ton of time into the land... as such we have benefited greatly. Thank you, my love!
