..do you 'mound' your squash??
yes we mound our squash and we plant 5 seeds per mound and we have 4 mounds,we also have 24 tomatoes,4 green peppers and 2 10 foot rows of garlic and we have 6 potatoes growing and if the store has em we will be planting 5 30foot rows of green beans so i hope we have enough food for a day or two

...big garden there, nice....do you jar a lot?....how many freezers...LOL.... ;D
Love the stuffed peppers.
All I planted this year for veggies is a green pepper, a Poblano pepper and a Celebrity tomato. I love squash but my neighbor is overrun with it every year and give me more than I can use. I like a chilled cucumber, sour cream, and dill salad in the summer, but it's easier to buy the few cucumbers I need.
I like a mix that my Mom/G'ma used to make..........
sliced tomatoes
sliced cucumber(peeled)
sliced Spanish red onion
put in a large bowl, add equal parts water and red vinegar.....add a cup, or so of sugar..
set covered in the 'fridge' for a day or two, to work the brine into the veggies....
eat as a side, put over boiled potatoes, or lettuce.....yum......just keep adding as necessary to make it last...
yes i love mason jars i preserve as much as i can i also freeze what i can we are still eating frozen green peppers from last year they taste great on homemade pizza

We've got some frozen peaches and blackberrys left...that's about it. If we get a good crop of fruit again, we'll make jams and preserves....
We pig out on stuffed peppers, so they don't last too long in the frezzer...LOL...
