My garden is basically done for the summer in North Fort Worth. I started seeds in January and planted everything in March. Bumper crop of tomatoes and made 5 large stock pots of sauce. Froze in small Tupperware containers then transferred to vacuum sealed bags. Should last a year. Vacuumed sealed 20 quart bags of wax beans and even more green beans. Did the same with corn. Broccoli didn’t yield much so nothing to freeze. Lettuce and spinach lasted till about May. Only thing left are peppers, carrots, and onions. Already thinking about next year.

I love my vacuum sealer and have been putting up my broccoli and leftover sweet corn. Corn is not from our garden but with the vacuum sealer and freezing it tastes just as sweet in the middle of the winter.

Sounds like a good year for your garden. I am thinking about fall planting, but feeling pretty lazy, so may just do cover crops and take a rest.
