PRESERVING THE HARVEST - GUIDE TO SAVING YOUR PRODUCE

Wednesday, September 06, 2023

Our August 2023 speaker, Denton County Master Gardener, Barbara Brown, talked about harvesting, freezing, drying and canning fruits, vegetables and herbs.

For each type of preservation, Barbara covered when to harvest and how to prepare for the best flavor and storage. With freezing and dehydrating, the techniques are relatively simple. Canning is a more detailed process, requiring more equipment and sanitizing steps.

This PDF (1.66 MB) was provided by Barbara to GDODC as a follow up to our meeting.

FLORET - DIGITAL LIBRARY OF FLOWERS

Set in Washington’s beautiful Skagit Valley, our fields are bursting with flowers that reflect the season, from fragrant sweet peas in the spring to magnificent dinner plate dahlias in the fall and countless varieties in between. Research is at the heart of our operation, and we conduct extensive trials to find the very best cut flower varieties, coveted for their scent, stem length, and ethereal qualities.

We source seeds from a small network of specialty seed farmers and grow many of the varieties we offer right here on the farm. Our shop features my very favorite cut flower seeds, as well as tools, supplies, and signed Floret books.
