Basically any veggie you seen frozen in the grocery store can be frozen at home
Any vegetable can be frozen for later use if you blanch them first...cool and pat dry...pack up in freezer safe bags.
I freeze squash by just slicing it and putting in baggies. I slice up okra and coat them with flour and corn meal to make fried okra at a later date. I also freeze some whole to put in with purple hull peas and blackeyed peas. Corn ears can be shucked and frozen. I take any fresh peas(purple hull and black eye and zipper) and boil them for around 30 minutes and then put them and the water they boiled in in bags and freeze. I dice onions and peppers and freeze them too. Broccoli and Cauliflower just cut and freeze.
When I was growning up mother would get the stuff out of the garden and the corn she would cut it off the cob and then she would cook it and then we would put it in bags and put to the freezer. Save way with any vegetable except onions. Now some people like to cook their potatoes and then put them in jars and put vinger but I don't like that. But as soon as you cut the vegetable you can put them in the freezer bags and put them in the freezer right away and then that way you have vegetable for a long time. Especially if you have one of these big freezer like my mom have.
Veg like corn, peas, okra , green beans all are good to freeze especially corn.
