@drstratton, I make to do lists for each day. Some things are little (empty the dehumidifier) and some are big (bottle a batch of booch). It makes me feel like I accomplished something by the end of the day when I look back at my list.

But by this time of year, yeah, I'm looking forward a bit to being done with the garden. In the same way that I look forward to getting into the garden in the spring.

I'll be doing the Tomato Two-Step today. One step to the right to the stove for scalding, one step back to the peeling pot and the tomato holding pan. One step to the left for another tomato, repeat.

The tomatoes are starting to gang up on me! I will be picking a couple of buckets and canning 7 quarts. I used to sometimes do 14 quarts in one day, but man, that is hard on the old feet and legs now.

Congratulations on the tomato harvest!

I will be canning tomatoes again tomorrow. I'll have to pick a few more to get a full canner load.

I've canned 33 quarts so far. We have 62 quarts total now. I'd like to have another 14 or so.

I'm thinking ahead to next summer's garden. It's something I can do while I wait for hubby to get up and make Sunday breakfast. (He makes bacon and eggs for us on the weekends. During the week, we each do our own.)

So... I'm going to plant a row of beans near my rhubarb. And in the raised bed next to the Egyptian Walking Onions, I'm going to plant tomatoes. Beans and greens have NOT done well next to the EWOs. Even though they're in separate beds, the beans look puny and stressed compared to the row that I planted near the potatoes.

Now I have to write this down where I'll remember where I wrote it down.
