I am almost done. Took out the beans & last squash yesterday so now I have a large crock of beans to ferment tomorrow, and jelly to start. I'll be looking for more grapes at the market Sat since everyone loved the juice so much! I may be canning just a few more weeks but I can't wait to be done with it for sure.

I have been traveling for work this past week and so my garden and preserving have been quiet as a result. Most of the preserving is done for the year though. I have some more pumpkin to roast and then puree and freeze. The rest is either already attended to or items that will be harvested fresh from the garden through the fall/winter. Well done!

Never had watermelon jelly but I think I've had preserved watermelon rinds (a very long time ago). If/when you have a minute, will you take a look at the comment I left on your old blog (http://sustainableeats.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/homemade-100-whole-wheat-bread-swoon-worthy/#comment-246) and let me know what you think about the rye berries. Thanks! Oh, yes, these wonderful memories will stay with them, no doubt about that.

My 3 and 6 year olds were very excited to drink grape juice from grapes that they helped to pick and talk about it incessantly to anyone who will listen. I hope these things stay with them! We are just entering the world of school lunches so the bar will never be the same again!

You amaze me to no end. Would love to see a photo of your canned foods. So many different things you've been able to preserve for your family. What beautiful memories you are making. :) I'll try to grow chamomile next year, would love to be able to make my own homegrown tea. Take care. :) (Left you a comment on the bread post.)
