Holy Tomatoes Batman!

Yes thats right we have tomatoes. Lots and lots and lots of tomatoes. We were wondering if they were ever going to turn red with it being such a cool summer but most of them have now finally turned and we picked them Sunday afternoon. Carl also dug the rest of the potatoes and we have lots and lots of mini-pumpkins as well. Our beets are pretty much ready and we have an abundance of acorn squash that need to be picked. The garden is producing quite well at last! Tuesday Andrea and I made a 2nd batch of spaghetti sauce and a double batch of salsa and still had 3 boxes of tomatoes left. In harvesting all of our vegetables we have learned what we like and what we don't about our garden from this year. All of this will be implemented next spring when we plant again. I'm sure all the work will be much appreciated this winter when we good veggies and sauces to eat.
