Looking in my bare pantry last night I came to a sad realization. This past growing season was my best ever, yet very little of what I grew was used or put up for the winter. After June 12 (flood day), much of it went unpicked and simply rotted where it grew. This is evidenced in the garden by the brown vines with shriveled tear-drop shaped tomatoes still clinging to them.
After the flood, building the house became the priority and my beautiful garden was neglected.
Well, Spring is not that far away! I think it's time to start planning for the next growing season and dreaming of a full pantry and root cellar next year.

I'm attaching a couple of photos of the garden this past year and one of my current home - a 27 foot travel trailer.
