Lauren said… - Good Morning! I put up about 30 quarts of salsa, and 30 lbs of beans. I lost alot of tomatos to black rot. It was a tuff year over this way for a lot of folks. Times are scary indeed. My freezer is full enough to last for a couple of months, I am starting to stock my canned goods pantry this week. I still have Limas to pick, and a boat load of acorn squash to freeze. Love you!!

Beva said… - Your soil sounds like ours!! The New England area is known for our beautiful stone walls! But, I think of the back breaking work it took to clear the fields of those boulders and create these walls! It was all out of need... need to make growing space! Each year as I till my garden, more rocks come to the surface from frost heave. I think there is an old adage about "winter growing rocks", or something to that effect. But, this is OK. We need rocks too! I have used mine to build a stone wall for the chipmunks and toads to live in.

- Hi Maria,
To answer your question about Kohlrabi, I consulted my old tattered copy of "The Victory Garden Cookbook" by Marian Morash. Under storage & preserving;
Separate leaves from the stems before storing. Refrigerate, unwashed in perforated plastic bags- will keep up to a week. Longer storage.. layer kohlrabi in moist sand in a cool cellar.
Whole kohlrabi freezes poorly because the texture breaks down. You can freeze pureed kohlrabi, but it will discolor. My thought, maybe if a little lemon juice is mixed in, it would keep its color?
Hope this helps you! I never put any of mine away, as we ate it too fast! :)
Love your photos!! I grew up in the Finger Lakes of New York State... my mother was from a small town in PA.
Do you have a lot of clay soil there?
:)
