Rainy

It’s rainy and coldish. The green bean plants are looking bad, and have a collection of slugs and snails upon them, but still….

Starting to wrap up

The tomatoes are still ripening, but have black spots.

There are still a few green beans coming in, and some squash.

Tonight we salsa

That’s about 12 cups of peeled, diced, tomato.

More pickling

We’re planning to make some salsa, but today was another day of pickling un-dilly beans.

It looks like 2 Sept harvest days of beans =~5 jars.

The beginning of the end…

I pulled most of the tomatoes because it’s been raining, and the plants were getting that “last chance” look.

lots of green beans still

And some blueberries

And the winter squash finally have something to show.

Undilly beans

Harvest was good today on green beans and tomatoes.

Beans got pickled (Two harvest days) with some of the peppers, dried pepper from last year, and garlic.

and extra broth fridge pickles (squash)

We pressure canned 10 jars of tomatoes today (citric acid, salt). That was pretty much all the ripe guys. I took the leftovers and the skins, cooked, blended, and stained them into a bowl of thin sauce. The cut ends and remaining skins went into the “trash soup” (broth) bag.

First day back in the garden

This was my first day harvesting since my surgery a week ago. (Might have overdone it… /:)

Lots of lovely nova tomatoes and peppers. Def doing those from seed again next year. We are now talking about our canning options, because… The kitchen is already full of ripe guys.
