I froze whole blemished tomatoes, 2nd quality peas, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage and carrots for the chickens.

I grew more than enough to feed myself/give to friends/feed 21 chickens through the winter. Right now I'm trying to use everything up and make some room for this year's crop. I canned, froze and dried way too much! Last month I made up gift baskets of canned items and gave them away to 10 of...
