Picked some golden beetroot this evening. Need to learn me how to extend the life of my veg. #pickling #PreservingFood

A gift of tomatoes to bottle and dry over the next few days #preserving #preservingfood #frugalhedonist #BegaValley #tomatoes

summer in Brisbane means the #basil will bolt. before that happens harvest and preserve the leaves while they are abundant. to keep them green and fresh, strip the stems off, blanch briefly in boiling water, cool in icy water, and pat dry. then pack the wilted leaves in a freezer bag without too much air. now freeze it. your (almost) fresh basil will keep for months. #preservingfood #kitchengarden

Between a work deadline, another bout of covid and the shorter days, had written off a lot if the remaining veg on my plot. Turns out there was plenty still usable. #allotment #PreservingFood #pickles
