Granny always has so much more than I do, but then again I've got a smaller space (and usually worse weather, but this year she might be the worse one off in that department).<br /><br />Granny, I wish I had neighbors like that. I could use some gifted jars. I bought some yesterday and will buy more today. I ride the bus so only want to carry one pack at a time.<br /><br />Carol, well welcome to your first. I keep thinking about buying peaches from the farmers market to can. I love peaches. But then I remember how many tomatoes are still on the counter and decide not to. I'd love to make some fig spread. I Haven't seen any at the market. Only a couple varieties can survive up here. Maybe I'll plant one next year.<br /><br />Cheryl, thanks.<br /><br />Kyle, lol no it doesn't make that much sauce. It all boils down. Right now I have nine pints of tomato sauce and 12 pints of Annie's salsa made from my tomatoes. I think some more are in order. At least for sauce. I might have enough salsa.<br /><br />Susan, thanks, but the idea wasn't actually mine. The Ottawa Gardener started it a while back and then stopped. So I decided if I wanted it to happen I'd have to do it myself. <br /><br />mamaraby, thanks<br /><br />Tricia, hmm no?

Sometimes I don't get to see them all until Wednesday or so, but I get there.<br /><br />a tasteful garden, it is. But that basil all went to my townhouse mates. They wanted to make more pesto and I have plenty in my freezer already. I did keep a few sprigs though so I could eat the basil fresh. The pasta salad I used it in was wonderful.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-77212318614685291882010-08-24T07:57:35.703-04:002010-08-24T07:57:35.703-04:00RandomGardener, I don't know what I'd do w...RandomGardener, I don't know what I'd do with them all if I didn't can. I guess I'd give them to one of the food banks around here. Most don't take fresh produce, but I'm sure I could find one.<br /><br />Ottawa Gardener, the sunny ones are taken early in the morning. If I pick them when the sun shines through my backyard window I put the basket on the floor and take its photo there. It is much nicer than the countertop where it is darker.<br /><br />Emily, all I need is 20 more pounds and I'll get 10 pounds per plant on average. Last year it was closer to six.<br /><br />Shawn Ann, thanks<br /><br />michelle, well right now we got your weather. We are stuck in the 60s yesterday and today and maybe tomorrow too. It is nice to get rain and cooler weather for a change.<br /><br />vrtlarica, I have 12 tomato plants. Or had. I pulled four of them this last weekend. But the harvest was from 12. 3 cherries, two beefsteak, three chinese heirlooms that were supposed to be all around tomatoes and weren't, and four paste tomatoes.<br /><br />Mac, well if you aren't a canner, than it would just be silly to plant so many. But if you do can, and are like me and eat a lot of salsa and tomato sauce, three digits is a good thing.<br /><br />Barbie, thanksDaphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-27241395404951859622010-08-24T07:48:21.885-04:002010-08-24T07:48:21.885-04:00The Mom, thanks

I'm doing a bit better this year because of the weather.<br /><br />thyme, lol I'm not sure I want the job of sole supplier to a village. I do love the garden, but it is enough work to provide most of my own veggies, with lots of tomatoes for my next door neighbor.<br /><br />Laura, I felt that way last year. I couldn't believe the June we had. We had highs in the 50s and 60s mostly with lots of rain and drizzle. Ick. I confess our summer so far, I haven't been in love with either. I really like summers in between. I don't think I've ever watered the garden as much as I have this summer.<br /><br />Ali, I could have done without all the 90 degree humid days. 80s would have been enough for my tomatoes.<br /><br />Marcia, if I didn't can I'd probably have two cherry tomatoes and two larger tomatoes. One early, one late. And that would probably give me too much. <br /><br />Dirt Lover, tomatillos are really easy to grow, but they really only go into cooked food. I don't know anyone that eats them fresh. I don't even like the smell of them fresh. But I love them cooked down.<br /><br />Thomas, lol no not every year. I hope we get a normal year next year. With enough rain and enough sunshine. Not too hot, not too cold. I don't think those happen all that much though. Recently we seem to swing to one side or the other.<br /><br />Sense of Home, thanks<br /><br />EG, thanksDaphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-34630148576516785152010-08-23T21:12:52.947-04:002010-08-23T21:12:52.947-04:00yum!!! what a gorgeous harvest! i'm loving the...yum!!! what a gorgeous harvest! i'm loving the timing of the bounty of basil with the tomatoes. couldn't ask for a more perfect pairing. <br /><br />cheers to a wonderful week!a tasteful gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087114615825374568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-18121892909080250992010-08-23T18:43:39.752-04:002010-08-23T18:43:39.752-04:00Wonderful harvest!
