Green pickled tomatoes are nice at end of their season. I like them better than cucumber pickles. Add garlic, onions and a pepper or so if want a little heat.  I remove the white center core on mine if needed though. 

Getting 3 colanders full every other day.
Going to grid these up tonight and pick again tomorrow, then on Saturday and do another round of canning.
It will probably be my last round of sauce ( over 70 quarts) and the rest that comes will go to salsa and given away to church

Wednesday I ground 15 quarts. Thursday I only picked 2 colanders.
Tomorrow, I'll surely get 3 and then start making sauce.
There's still a bunch left to harvest afterwards. I'm sure I'll see tomato plants growing in the pig pen before frost, lol.
It really worked out perfectly for us. Not to many, not to few. Our garlic was and is still fantastic. Going to start dehydrating some for powder soon. I should easily have another 400 to replant and take our home usage throughout. I am going to downsize my garlic in October to 300. Or 3 beds total.
Its winding down for us but I hope still going strong for others.
Rain, or lack of has been my only deterrent to starting more vegetables.
Peace and tuna

 Son took garlic to the auction today and bought 60 dozen fresh picked bread & butter sweet corn for $10

Wow, that's a lot of sweet corn.
I buy a sack of 5 dozen from our local farm for $20.00
We blanch/ freeze that off the cob that takes us through the winter.
I may go get another just to make chowder.

Today I did 6 pints salsa. Not really happy with the flavor. It's missing something or maybe to much cilantro added.
Tomorrow is another day and when I wake up, I'll start over again.
Heading to see another free band park show just up the road.
I grew up with these guys and it's their 40th year playing together.

 Yeah that was a little too much but the price was right. Ate 3 last night without my teeth in and I didn't care. The old lady finished up removing from the cob about a hour ago. She used my antique butcher block I picked up a couple weeks back and a new sandwich knife seemed to work well. Was tempted to use the antique corn sheller with electric motor but she said she was doing fine. Have over 400 butcher and chef knives to go through from auction yet, least she used one today so that was a start. She hated the butcher block on the back patio when she first came up yesterday but think she changed her mind now. Still have to find a place for it yet. She is out cold now. Told her to hold off on the bell peppers until the evening.
 
 Garden at camp sucks this year with getting a late start then not having fence up in time before the over abundance of rabbits and and groundhogs. Had to replant a good bit. Then the July drought and some bugs on beans, cukes and zucchini delayed growth. Don't help when gone for a week at a time. Got close to 150 hogs out of yard in the past 4 years but now they seem to come out at night to avoid me Lol!!
 
  The peppers and tomatoes are doing great but a month behind.

That's a wrap..
24 quarts sauce canned today. 12 jalapeno, 12 regular.
While we still have a strong showing of tomatoes on the vine, enough is enough.
Aside from planting garlic in October, my garden season is over.

Picking was heavy today. Bunch of Bells and Hungarians. 12 quart bags, portioned for what we use for a dinner side of green beans. 6 eggplants. Last of the cukes and 4 pie pumpkins. These plums are still coming. Like I said, 15 more quarts of sauce will make 40, thas enough. I have no idea what I'll do with the rest. Probably give them away or maybe take some to the store and put em in the produce case. Nothing helps a gross profit like free product. Last planting of lettuce has all popped. I should be picking that in about 3 weeks or so. It was good year for the garden. I think that 10-10-10 really helped. Guess I'll just manage what's left now and look forward to Columbus Day garlic planting. I think 150 heads this fall. 🤔

Mater still slow for me as far as enough to pick/can.  Did 8 qts of italian stewed maters this weekend....first pick/canning session.  Plants are loaded and my san marzanos have hundreds of plump green maters on it so I think end of this month/early sept., I will be busy.  Still need to get another planting of lettuce/spinach in.  Just pulled old plants yesterday.  The rain made for easy weeding/pulling.

So , I started my tomato seeds mid/ late February. They got big fast. By late March they were pretty much planting height. They were able to go in the ground late may due to conditions. I ended up planting 48 . Many I had to trench and lay down the main stem.
Only fertilizer I use is from the compost pile of leaves and chicken/ fish/ pigs form prior year.
Obviously we had good perception in early June and then the drought.
Rain barrels were dry so town water through a carbon filter was key. Just enough and not to much worked well.
Peppers on the other hand, suffered.
I got enough jalapenos, herbs and oregano to make sauce. Farm market was onions and bell.
There are so many improvements I should do and keep saying to do but this was a nice relaxed garden year so I'm happy.
Our meats took total priority and working out fantastic.
Now the time for us is to support our local farmers.
