Tomatoes never stop! Another batch of tomato sauce - 5 litres and a little bit. Also canned some peaches, dehydrated some mushrooms. Black trumpets were for supper. We also harvested two of our roosters, it was their time. And had a change of guard in the coop. Unfortunately, our beautiful boy Sage passed away. He was the best rooster, so gentle with the ladies, great protector, and so friendly with us. We will miss you Sage!

Another 24 lb before more rain, and of cause more basil to make more pasta sauce.

Tomatoes are starting! Crazy amount of basil this year, a few little cucumbers and jalapeno.
Garlic and onions are also from our garden.
First batch of tomato sauce is about to commence.

Very proud of our sunflowers this year, about 11 feet tall, thick as a tree too!
We picked some potatoes before the rain, not great from two rows… and all scabby. So will have to preserve them instead of trying to save for the winter. But our onions did well this year, these are only about half of what we have. A few still on the smaller side so we left them in the ground for now.

Beets and onions!

A little garlic harvest. Kinda missed the window of garlic scape harvesting (was late) so garlic ended up being not massive. But we should have enough for the winter, and enough for fall planting.

Oh we will be in trouble when there tomatoes ripen! There are about a hundred plants 😳🫣
Peas are finally doing well, a new generation just broke the ground too.
Little eggplants in a greenhouse, took a while to get them pollinated but it did happen. Big ones just tasted to bloom.
