Garden Gifts and Bartering

Bartering is not yet a thing of the past.  We barter our garden goodies for services or to borrow tools. 

Yesterday, we bartered a jar of jelly, and a bag of fresh picked green peppers for the help of a family member (moving our new treadmill, again from my wonderful Uncle).

We also gifted another family member with a bag of green peppers, a cucumber, some cayenne peppers, and banana peppers.  

The garden has truly been a blessing.
