Fast-forward to the end of summer. You have read all the articles, planted vegetables everywhere and now have an abundance you could never have dreamed of. And now it is a problem because what can you do with it all?
Obviously the local foodbank is a great place to take any of your excess super-healthy produce.

But the point of grow-your-own is to try and keep it for yourself to last over the winter.
