Hi all - busy, busy day.  Our son brought Scotty over because he wanted to help dig the carrots out of the garden.  He, grandpa and I dug up 3 five gallon buckets of carrots.  Then I scrubbed them all and sliced them up for the freezer, except for the bag I kept out to go in with the pot roast that is in the crock pot right now.  I ran out of freezer bags, so Greg and I went to the grocery store and when we got home, I started on produce duty again.  Back in May, Greg had planted a whole row of broccoli.  It was his first venture into that veggie.  We got these humungous plants but nothing on them so we thought that they were not going to produce.  Then we learned that they are a fall &quot;bloomer&quot;, so all of a sudden, we have a plethora of broccoli heads.  I assumed you could freeze them as I buy frozen broccoli at the grocery store, so went online to see how to do it.  I spent all evening parboiling broccoli and then cutting it up into florets and bagging it up.  There are still probably at least 50 heads growing on the plants - I am going to let them get bigger before preparing them.  Greg just took down 14 bags of carrots and 12 bags of broccoli, to the basement freezer.  I foresee many stir-frys, pasta primevera&#39;s and casseroles in the near future&#33;&#33;&#33;  I need to go back and see what I have missed this evening, but did want to say welcome back to Steve.  I look forward to seeing the pics of you, Lynda and Gramps&#33;&#33;&#33;
