Picked these pickling cucumbers this week, & of course pickled them, small batch, only 4 pint jars worth, almost not worth the time.

Also picked these tomatoes from the garden this week, tomato season is kicking in...
Them skinned them, chopped them, and cooked them...
Pressure canned them...
And the result, 7 quarts/shelf stable for 2 years, ready for whatever...
Probably be processing some at least weekly for the next 2 months.

I need to get into canning
Thanks. I usually can a few batches of concentrated pasta sauce that I add 2 quarts of the chopped tomatoes (above) and 1 quart of a straight tomato sauce I also end up canning, still have some left over from last year of that so probably won't do as much of that, but the concentrated pasta sauce is on the to-do list, as is some salsa.
Picked a few tomatoes today... probably also going as chopped tomatoes, looks like a 12 quart batch to me, probably get to it tomorrow after work or Saturday.

Gary, most of what you see (red with yellow stripes) is called "vintage wine", there are some "Caspian pink" buried in there also.

Mine are pretty boring... peas, beans, zucchini, carrots, and spaghetti squash. I've eaten a
couple of zukes and peas, the rest are still on their way to harvestability.
This banana plant fruits bloomed and survived winter 2019 and the plant finally blew over so we had to harvest it and let it ripen artifically.
Jujube fruits aka chinese apple is starting to ripen
Larger fruits this year
We just lay them on our kitchen counter and placed some riped fruits on top of the bananas to induce it into ripening. We usually leave them on the plant but the wind blew the plant down..
These jujube fruits we usually consume as much as we can and share rhe rest with friends and family
We started planting all our trees about 4 years ago we first bought the place.
