Eat Yer Vegetables!

[robby]

I've run out of freezer space, so for that last three days I've been eating all the squash and green beans that I pick. I've been picking them young, to keep the volume that I eat within human parameters. I'm sure this is good for me, I'm getting lots of vitamins and anti-oxidants.

I'll try to keep this up, but if it becomes a burden, I'll come up with a plan B.

I'm finally going to get some good Brandywine tomatoes. The blossom end rot was just on the first to ripen. Tomatoes, I will can, and I still need about a dozen quarts more, before I can call it a season.

Perhaps Plan B could involve handing out boxes of produce, or soup or sauce, to your neighbours.

I actually gained a whole branch of my family this way. Soon after WW2 my widowed grandfather used to take boxes of his home grown veg to a widowed lady in the village. She had 3 daughters so the food was welcome but the legend goes that she wasn't expecting the marriage proposal. After recovering her breath, she said yes.

That's a thought.
