YAY! that's a lot of pickles!

I think I'll have enough tomatoes for the first batch of tomato sauce and salsa this weekend.
not sure how many more tomatoes I will get. the "early girls" that I didn't get looks like a determinate plant. that's a major portion of my tomatoes. such a disappointment this year. I'll make the best of it.

on a good note, the Ramapo tomatoes are very nice! 10-12 oz. fruit, not too acidic. good flavor. I will plant these again.

Yay for salsa!
And all tomatoey goodness! {#Notworthy}

My grandma used to store the pickles upside down for a couple weeks, I assume to keep air from coming in.

it's a vacuum sealed jar. no air can get in.

So we made and canned five quarts of dill pickles.
This is our first time making pickles!
And we pickled a quart of jalapeños. Cause we have plenty.

I hope they will be tasty!

but it's not like it's bad for you.

Not at all. And it does have some beneficial minerals. Just no vitamins.

We be fine. How are you?

I like them that way too, especially with the green beans thrown in to stew with it all. And garlic {#Cheesygrin}

Always use garlic!
Glad you are fine. We sure had fun in the Big Horns, didn't we? We should try another camp-out next summer!

Lazy8 loves zucchini BBQed. He usually cuts them into long ways quarters and throw them on the grill with a little salt only. My favorite is curryed. We can eat a lot of zucchini. Our plants are flowering.
