It is that time of year when the garden just sort of hums along, needing only for me to water and do light weeding. The first round of soup beans have been pulled up and the second round planted. The cucumber vines have just about reached their end. The zucchini slowed down, but is now making a come back. The peppers are coming on strong. And the tomatoes, oh the tomatoes. I am in the middle of a sea of tomatoes. And I am in the kitchen. A lot.
Making tomato sauce.
And pizza sauce. 
Roasting and drying. 
Freezing.
And shelling. 
Baking and freezing zucchini bread (not pictured).
There is still more tomato sauce in my future and well as (hopefully) pickled peppers, pepper jelly, and maybe even some ketchup. How are you putting up summer?
Growing Up in the Garden 
Frozen blueberries accomplished, in slightly less than hoped for volumes. Apples will be canned, in various forms, when a few more are ripe, and grapes may be pressed for juice. Unless the critters eat them first. Kale, if not eaten by the humans will also be frozen.
I have never gotten much in the way of fruit put away. Sounds delicious!
Hi there – I love how homegrown look nothing like anything you will get at the store! I can’t wait to see how mine will turn out, but I have some waiting to do.
Cheers Sarah : o )
I will be enjoying tomatoes vicariously through you in just a few short months!
Great post! We have green beans running out of our ears. We froze 275 ears of corn (some we cut off the cob). I haven’t gotten a final count on the green beans, because I STILL have more to pick!
That is an impressive amount of corn! Wow!
Very nice variety!
Thanks!
