A bowl of peppers sitting on a counter. From the top and clockwise: red Fresno chili peppers, Hatch chili peppers, jalapeño peppers, a couple of red bell peppers, Hungarian hot wax peppers and in the middle are two Carolina reapers. The entire bowl made exactly 4 cups after chopping in a food processor. Perfect!

Six jars of hot pepper jelly resting on a paper towel on top of a wooden cutting board. The board is on the counter.

A big batch of garlic and olive oil infused tomatoes. The pan is resting on a couple of trivets that is on the counter.

Here’s what I preserved today after baking cookies. A hot pepper jam and @goodport.bsky.social Melted Tomatoes! #growyouownfood #organic

A black shirt with the bottom hem held up so the pouch can hold big round yellow cucumbers and tiny green mottled ones.

I have hit that part of summer where I go to check on my garden and come back with a shirt full of cucumbers! Did you know Gazans haven't had any veggies in months? #vermontByVermonters #resistanceGarden #growYouOwnFood
