Thanks for the good comments everyone.
Nice looking apples Maya.
jimsenger... I help my wife put all of that stuff up too. I enjoy that part of it too. We do lots of jams, blackberry, strawberry, plum, peach and usually pear preserves.
We put up sweet corn and can tomatoes.
I usually start out planting greens in Mid March or so... and greens are about the only thing I grow all season long. After I harvest my sweet corn, I will plant some turnip greens and other greens... and those usually go all fall long and thru the winter. When it gets really cold it will cut em back, but with a week or two of warmer weather they will start comming back out again. I eat greens just a about all year.
Tomatoes, Squash and Corn I usually get out Late April, and harvest those as they come in. I stagger the tomato planting a little to have some later in the year.
I used to grow a big garden, but the older I get, the smaller my garden gets. So space is a premium now days so I only grow my most favorite things.
