Master Gardener Tips August 12, 2024: Harvesting and Saving Your Garden Produce

Loading

By Vicki Schmitt, Nebraska Extension Master

Gardens seem to explode with produce this time of year! Freezing can be the easiest way to preserve your harvest. Be sure to choose containers made for freezing. Peppers, onions, and tomatoes can be frozen raw for the least preparation. Zucchini, beans, broccoli, carrots, corn, and other vegetables will need to be blanched with steam or boiling water for a short period of time.ย
