The garden

One of my goals for the year was to get 500 units (bottles, bags, individual squash/onions, etc.) from our garden.  It was tricky with a new baby, but we did a lot!
In bottles:
50 pints of tomatoes
36 quarts of vegetable barley soup
More than 100 quarts of beans
18 pints of zucchini tomato salsa
12 half pints of jalapeno jelly
In the freezer:
50 pints of corn
50 pints of peas
10 bags of shredded zucchini
Stored as grown:
100 onions, tied up in the garage
15 gallons of potatoes
9 huge pumpkins
1/4 row of parsnips (still in the ground
1/4 row of carrots (still in the ground)
More than 100 squash including banana, acorn, butternut, and spaghetti
This doesn't include all the things we ate fresh: lettuce, spinach, peas, tomatoes, pico de gallo, zucchini, bell peppers, cucumbers, and three little raspberries.
