Hello everyone!
My garden is now harvested!
The only thing that I had left to harvest were the carrots, which we had a lot of those! My boy wanted carrots, and he got them! It took awhile to harvest them and get them ready for the freezer.
What I did to get the ready for the freezer was blanch them and put them in quart bags. The blanching process that I did was:
- Wash the carrots
- Chop the carrots in small chunks
- Wash the carrots again
- Boil the carrots for 7-10 minutes (until they were a little soft)
- Put the boiled carrots in ice water for 7-10 minutes
- Put the carrots in freezer bags
- Place the carrots in the freezer
It was time consuming to wash and chop the carrots, but they are really good and sweet! I don't know what type of carrots I planted, but they are really good!
Next year though, I am planting less of carrots and little bit more variety between all the crops.
