If you have a surplus from your harvest that you won’t be able to use up before they spoil (which happens to many home gardeners), you can preserve them by canning, freezing and dehydrating. That will allow you to continue saving money well into the fall and winter, extending the harvest beyond the growing season.
By preserving excess garden produce, you can avoid paying premium prices for out-of-season fruits and vegetables. In addition, because the fresh vegetables were harvested at their peak ripeness, they’ll have better flavor and health benefits, too.
