I put up 28 quarts and 14 pints, that should take us to next year when we have fresh garden tomatoes again :) It feels very satisfying seeing them all lined up on the shelves. I've had a little time to work on that quilt again today, but probably should be out pulling up the garden. Sewing is just more fun, LOL.

I have gotten things in the wrong order before and then had to rip them back out and try again. Ripping out is not my favorite thing to do, LOL. I canned tomatoes again on Friday, now I have 28 quarts put up. I think that I'll do a couple canners full of pints and then stop for the summer and start pulling my plants up for fall. It feels good to have the garden all bedded down for winter. Last year winter weather came before I got them all out of the ground and I had to clean some out in the spring and it was a mess! Thanks so much for stopping in to visit and for leaving a comment . . . I enjoy getting to know my blogging sister better and appreciate reading each and every comment.

The thing about harvesting and putting things up for winter is that you have to do it when the vegetables say it's time . . . when working with perishable items, they call the shots and make the schedules . . .I just follow their lead, LOL. Gardening has been fun, but I'm looking forward to fall and winter. I'm happy that I live in an area with 4 seasons, I enjoy cleaning my closet twice a year and putting the warm season clothes away and pulling out the sweatshirts and sweaters. <br />I'm delighted that you like the little houses and the blues that I'm using . . . it is going to be gift, so I hope that she likes it, too.

I just finished washing, blanching and chopping up enough to do another canner full. That's the messy part and to me the hardest.

I've been putting vegetables out by the road with a free sign on them, but yesterday someone came along and took all the vegetables that were there and my sign and my display boxes. I wanted to put more out today, but I don't have boxes. I do have some nice baskets, but after that I'm afraid they just might take them, too :( . . . I guess free vegetables weren't enough for some people.
