I think it is charming and quaint to see the terminology used by different folks for their post-gardening activities. Brenda is "putting by" and Laurel is "putting up" the fruits of their labors. My family has always said "putting up" for freezing and canning veggies in the late summer and fall. I think some folks say their crops were "laid by" when they were harvested. What different terminologies have you heard used?

Since the only veggies I planted this year were tomatoes (and I was so proud of myself for doing even that), I will be pickling and "putting up" my greenies left over when the weather gets cold. I planted them late and will have tomatoes on into the fall. Here is the first harvest from farmer Judy's garden ... (these are Big Boy tomatoes in memory of my father ... that's what he used to plant)
