We're making spaghetti sauce from out bucket of mixed tomatoes. Already
have it getting ready for the pressure canner. Only made four pints but
that will be four different meals for us this winter or sooner.

Didn't get enough green beans to can this year, some sort of blight got
the beans. Pretty much the same with the cukes. But with the cukes it
may have been a blessing. We had a deluge of cukes last year so put up
lots of relish and pickles.

I suspect the problem with the garden this year is the extreme heat
we've been having followed by the January back to back freezes. Hitting
90+ most days and not a lot of rain. Plus we need to amend the whole
raised beds again. Most likely will do that this fall and then let it
lay fallow until spring.

We have a new composter, bought on line, and is working well at this
time. With just the two of us there's not much garden waste or otherwise
to fill a composter. Mowing every two weeks helps though. I see
neighbors putting their mowed grass in a bag and send it off to the
dump. If I knew what they put on their lawns I would high jack the bags. <G>
