Did scramble up 18 eggs for the birds in the same pan I cooked bacon so that flavor is there.

I got 28 tomato plants planted in the garden today. When I read that, it sounds like no big deal. Except that soil is so heavy, and I plant them deep. 32 more to go in that garden, and then 5 cherry tomatoes in the sandy soil garden. That'll be a piece of cake by comparison, so I'm leaving it for last.

Waiting two days before I do the daisy seeds let it warm a bit. Suppose to have 70 temps in a day.

What??!!
I plant 3 plants and keep one volunteer grape tomato plant and can't begin to keep up with what they produce. I'll be canning as much as I can to keep me going with soups through the winter.

It's been a lovely day here.

It's always nice to have good weather. It's gorgeous here too.
We came home to feed the dogs then we're heading back to my sister's for her Memorial Day BBQ. Lots of great food. I plan to anacondize myself.

My plants have not been very productive. This year I am going all out to up their output. Mulch, bunny poop, wood chips, compost, and maybe purchased tomato food.

I can about 50-60 quarts, and also make about 20 pints of salsa. I also want to try drying some too. The cherry tomatoes are for snacking and salads.

We use at least a quart of tomatoes per week. I'm looking at more soup/stew type meals to make this year.

Tell me a bit about your canning system please DL.
