When the garden really started producing I thought to keep track of what we stored (frozen, dried or canned). I didn't keep track of what we ate fresh or things we didn't have enough to store. So in addition to the items listed below, we had fresh green peas, swiss chard, lettuce, spinach, kale, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and so on.
