The end of Summer has taken me by surprise.
I blame the weather. It has been flaky and unpredictable and mostly cool, and while the fruit trees have produced way beyond normal, the tomatoes have sat green on the vines, mocking me.
Until today.
Yes, some of these are green, but since we had to dive into a thicket of vines to pick the ripe ones, a few green ones got knocked off in the struggle. If our current little heat spell lasts, there will be about a zillion more baskets like this. I planted all heritage varieties this year, and carefully labelled them; unfortunately, the labels are buried under the vine jungle, so I’m not sure what most of these are. But hey! They are tasty!
As for the zucchini, well. You know zucchini. You can’t turn your back on it for even a moment.
'Maters!
This is only a fraction of what's Out There. It's scary.

I am so jealous of everyone who has a garden. That’s one of the things I can’t wait to have when we finally move out of our apartment.
P.S. – are you back in the land of the internets? Missed you Kathi!
Busty LaRue´s last blog ..UGH!!
The ‘maters picture looks like a cornucopia standing up. Do you have a special cornucopia table?
(crossing my fingers for a Kathi comeback)

Kathi! I’ve missed you this summer, but I see you’ve been busy. We should do an exchange. I, too, have been preserving anything that isn’t nailed down. Glad to have you back. You always make me laugh. xoCathy
Will you have enough for a peck of pickled peppers?
Martha´s last blog ..And you thought modern baking was time consuming
First of all: Fried green tomatoes.
Second of all: I love zuchini!!! Really!
Third of all (is that really a term?): We’ve all missed you! Please! Do not stay away for so long!!
