We gave the chickens a pumpkin from the garden, and scratched the surface to get them to start carving it. At first, they were not sure about the pumpkin, but by day two they were enjoying it.

Keeping Produce Fresh ~ Cucumber Tip
The tip: I was told, when I bring in a lot of cucumbers, but cannot can them the same day, to immerse them in cold water first, then put in these containers. I'm always taking notes for the next year, so if you immerse in cold water, is there a reason for that?
Well, out of the blue I spotted these three at a local grocery store about a month ago. On clearance! I paid $6.49 for the large one and $2.50 each for the smaller ones.
Our bell peppers were huge in harvest this year, so I put some in the large container, and I can tell you they stay fresh! I had the ones on the right in that container for over a week, and the ones on the left in the bowl only were going soft in one day.
I will be buying one more larger container for summer harvest.
