Green Tomato Relish

 

 I will have to make my relish out of cherry tomatoes this year, there were not many green ones left on the larger ones, they all turned red.  There was a chance of frost on the 7th and we harvested and covered the fall beds, but the frost never fell!  Okra still coming in. 


 

Fall Plantings

The fall garden is planted and covered.  We planted turnips, bok choy, lettuce and spinach.  I put in some brocolli seedlings I started a month ago.  We got 1 inch of rain the day after planting and everything sprouted, but now we are irrigating because it is dry.

More Mators

 There are still tomatoes rolling in, and okra.  Peppers are a bit small this year, and thirsty.  We have canned a total of 43 quarts and are really hoping for rain to get the fall garden a drink.

Okra

We had been dry here in August, but finally got 0.6 of an inch of rain, and here comes the Okra flowers!!!

 

 Picked another round of tomatoes today, peppers, okra and my summer candy tomatoes.

Corn, Okra and More Pumpkins

Corn and Okra are starting to come in.  We shucked the corn here and every top had a worm, 

but price you pay for organic corn. The pie pumpkins are plentiful!  

We started canning last week and have 8 quarts so far.  

I made pico de gallo from the small tomatoes, and we snack on cherry tomatoes, our summer candy.
