I am having fun with it! Our Spring garden was very successful - I was able to save some pea seeds for next year and I'm expecting to save some of the bush bean seeds as well.
I had a real lesson with my Utah onions, tho. I planted from seed in November thinking they'd over winter, which they did, but I've learned that the cold causes them to seed. They ended up flowering and when I processed the 78 heads, most had a hard center. So, instead of storing them as heads, I processed them for the freezer. Funny thing: these onions cook down to a velvety mush that is extremely sweet! Overall, I can't say it was a total loss! Our peas and carrots seemed to be a bumper crop!
