Get off Your Can!

Well, The tomatoes are starting to come in in earnest. just skinned about 2 gallons of black russian plum tomatoes. gonna toss 'em in quart jars till I have some time to fully process.

Never heard of them but it is cool you are canning them. You have zuchini too?

[morticaixavier]

no zukes for canning/freezing. plenty for eating all summer even though we didn't plant any. 

getting the winter garden in, peas, greens, broccoli etc. Our artichokes are on the verge of flowering again. gotta get those dug up and transplanted.

My tomatoes are doing well- so well the wind keeps knocking them over in their cages. Last time I use this type of cage. Stakes in the future.

BTW the hugelkulture appears to work very well. I used old wood and haven't needed to water much once the plants got established.

nice! glad that's working out for you. I was out in the garden last night fantasizing about a big ol' tangle of perennial beds. I want a cherry tree but I really want tart pie cherries and I don't think they would much care for the 110+ heat in the summer here. Maybe hugel is the answer to that as well. have to think that over.
