Well, my dear, I should preface this by saying that I have a very large garden, mainly because I like to put up enough canned stuff for a year for my family and friends. So, I am currently harvesting 170 tomato plants, 50 pepper plants, masses of green beans, eggplant, onions (I finally got a decent harvest) squash, chard, potatoes and, my favorite fall raspberries!!! I am buried under veggies right now which I make into a mixed vegetable sauce for pressure canning. This is not including my orchard which is burgeoning as well! My gardening girlfriend just gave me a ton of Green Gage plums and beets, and black grapes and pears!! Guess what I am going to be doing for the next several weeks??? I love each an every moment of it and in the depths of winter, my sons will ask for warmed applesauce for breakfast and homemade bread and spaghetti for dinner and I willingly oblige.....@oregonkat - Ohh what are you harvesting and putting up in your canning? Our garden was a bust, but we traded with some friends for blueberries that I just made jam with recently!
