THE LAST HAUL OF THE SEASON...

Saturday was the last day for local farmer's market :(    A sad day since it won't open again until June of 2013.  So I decided to make the best of it and go buy the place up.  Hehe, not really.  I did walk away with much more than I would normally buy.  I felt compelled to - the last day and all.  It's not as if I can't get another vegetable between now and June.  It is however, some of the last local veggies.

Planning to be quite busy the next few days.  

So here's what I got...

• Two dozen sweet corn and five (more) pounds of green beans to blanch and freeze. 
• Six butternut squash to roast, mash, and freeze.  
• Several small zucchini to dehydrate and add to my soup mix.
• Many hot peppers (mostly jalapenos) to dehydrate and spice things up this winter.
• Green peppers to freeze for beef sandwiches.
• A dozen cabbage sprouts (not pictured) that went into the dehydrator.
• and a nice size container of local honey

The tomatoes were given to me by my aunt.  They were green, but they are ripening nicely in the window so I'll be able to make some more tomato sauce.  I also went to the apple orchard this weekend and picked up apples to can apple sauce this week.  So I've got plenty to do this week.

How about you?  Are you putting anything up this week?
