Vegetables From the Garden

This year I have reaped the benefit of friends with vegetable gardens. GS and JP have shared some of their yields (lettuce, cucumbers and yellow squash). Today we went to family members HS & MSS's large vegetable garden in Madison and came back with a car load of potatoes (Kennebec and red), Blue Lake Bush green beans, tomatoes (red, yellow and pink), yellow squash and cucumbers.

Tonight I spent almost 2 hours snapping green beans which I will blanch and freeze tomorrow. MSS says to store the potatoes in the basement loosely if possible. They should last a long time that way.
