We have been blessed to have great friends and family help us with produce that hasn't grown or didn't fit in our all too small garden. My dad's apricot tree produced so many apricots, he couldn't eat them all, so we were lucky enough to take some home. Jake, Anthony, Jenna and I made apricot jam out of them. It was the first time I had made real jam, not just freezer jam and all of the lids sealed but one! We wanted to eat one right away anyway, so it worked out great! It was a fun thing to do! Thanks Dad!
I have also gotten to can green beans from my friend's garden. They were so nice to teach me how. I've never done them before! It is great to supply my food storage 'store' downstairs with fresh produce! Thank you Bartons and Jones!!

This is one of my most favorite times of the year because we get to eat such yummy things! Aren't those green beans delicious? I am so thankful that my dad grows so much so he can share with me!! That apricot jam looks delicious :)
Way to go... you'll be eating like kings for quite a while. There's nothing better than homegrown food!
