    I doubt that eggplant would be good after being frozen.

    Apparently it can be sliced. probably blanched, and then frozen. But the article I saw was only freezing it short term. I'd better come up with something because 2 will feed us for days and I've got another dozen coming!

    I can see how Blancheing it might make it right for freezing.

    I only have three bean pole tripods in my garden. So far I've gotten 30 quarts of beans. I still have at least as many immature beans on my plants. My corn has done even better.


    I planted peas last week and they are already coming up. I read where peas can be planted in late summer or early fall, so I thought I'd try it. I also planted more radishes and onions at the same time. They are all doing well too.

    I think the blanching suggestion is a good bet, although, without knowing your freezer situation, I'm also thinking, just freeze the finished parm product, the sauce should keep the eggplant from drying out in the deep freeze...at least for quite a bit longer...

    I wound up blanching and freezing the eggplant and will have another batch before we are done, plus I've been eating eggplant parm again. It was a great year for the garden.

    The late planted peas were looking good, then all of a sudden they just basically disappeared. One day they were just all gone. There was no sign of deer or any other critter.

    Thecradishes and onions I planted in September looked good, but when I harvested yesterday there was nothing there. Just the greens above the ground. I'm not going to do that fall planting again.

    I don't get home from Mexico until June 23rd. That's a little late to start most garden crops. Before I left for Mexico I tilled my garden area and got it ready for spring and covered it.

    My brother went over to my house and removed the cover, tilled it again and planted corn, onions, carrots and radishes for me yesterday. I'll plant beans and tomatoes when I get home. That's going to be all for this year.

    I've started turning the garden over, but won't be planting for 3 weeks or so.
