I have always put the bananas with their peels on in the freezer. No freezer burn and when you peel them fir making banana muffins, bread there is always banana extract at the bottom end of the peel, loads of extra flavor for the baked goods!
I definitely will have to buy both cucumbers and tomatoes. Our temperatures in July were the fittest on record and fried my garden. Luckily, our first frost isn’t until November. I’m hoping to get a few things from a fall garden - if it stops raining!
Make your own seasoning mix: Use this easy formula as a fresh-to-dried herb converter: 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs. In other words, use three times as much fresh herbs when the recipe calls for dried and 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs when the recipe calls for fresh.

I have done it that way as well. I haven’t tried it this way before. I just figured it would be something different. I always have leftover bananas.
Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thank you for watching!
I say this every year and every year my tomatoes revive themselves. But... I'll probably have to buy my tomatoes this year.
I definitely will have to buy both cucumbers and tomatoes. Our temperatures in July were the fittest on record and fried my garden. Luckily, our first frost isn’t until November. I’m hoping to get a few things from a fall garden - if it stops raining!
@lynnclendenin2988 my cherry tomatoes just started producing and I didn't get a single cucumber...just a bunch of male flowers.
My tomatoes are trying to make a comeback. Those leaf footed bugs and stink bugs are trying to kill them right now.
