Extra Freezing.
Yesterday,  a kind friend from our church brought over some beans, tomatoes and a very LARGE bunch of silver beet ( a little like spinach).I cooked up the beans for dinner that night to go with our pasta meal. The silver beet I washed, cut up and cooked. I then split it up into 3 large meal sizes for us, one to use later this week which I popped in the fridge, and the other two went in the freezer.

Earlier in the day dd15 and I peeled apples to make apple sauce. We made 6 litres worth. I popped 4 litres in the freezer and 2 litres in the fridge to use this week. My aim is to make about 5-6 litres of apple sauce each week, freezing 4 of the 6 litres while I can buy seconds from the orchard. Last year the apple season lasted well into September.

Today I picked all of the last tomatoes of their vines as the nights are getting colder here. I have popped them all on a large sheet of newspaper in our music to ripen up. I still have a lot of tomatoes in the fridge to use. I think that with the tomatoes that I picked today we will still have enough tomatoes for another month. So we have been blessed with free tomatoes for 5 months! I also have 70 cans worth of stewed tomatoes in the freezer to use until next January. Thank you Lord for our wonderful summer garden!
