Canning, freezing and drying

Well, Its that time of year! Time for canning, freezing and drying all of my garden produce! I have 5 gardens so this isn't as easy as it sounds! The tomatoes are ripening faster than I can pick them and the broccoli is giving its last umph for the season. The beans are still producing and I'm not done yet! Then there are the 8 rows of squash (a mix of summer, winter and such) that my husband planted (I think he was having fun!) that I can't quite decide what all to do with. My friend brought me eggplant and another friend has cabbage that I am going to make sauerkraut out of. Whew.... the plums are nearly ripe and I can't find apples to beat the band around here. It seems none of the apple trees produced much this year. The berries are begging to be picked and jam is to be made. And oh, did I mention our daughter gets her wish trip to Orlando in a few weeks? I'm not sure how I am going to get all of this done (especially if I keep writing on this blog LOL). So I had best go for now and get to work. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the kitchen.
