So.... okay. I have a bunch of stuff to post.. pictures, recipes.. various attempts at greatness.. which I swear I will post soon (and you all know "soon" can just mean "tomorrow" or it can mean "before the end of the century or so").
I gave pickling a try -- the garden this year was completely out of control (and still is). I managed to get some San Marzano tomatoes and also some grape and cherry tomato varieties -- they took over! And NO BLIGHT! WAHOO!! except now, after.. what.. ONE application of MiracleGro.. I have harvested exactly 9,732 tomatoes, with more still coming (and blooms on the vines!!). I also planted TWO cucumber plants which promptly went insane and have produced at least 30 cucumbers. The last 12 ended up in jars (thus my pickling adventure).. and I have to find a way to preserve these awesome tomatoes soon or I'm going to be making sauce until it's leaking out my ears!
I also have butternut squash and string beans (which haven't been quite as prolific as the tomatoes and cukes), various peppers, celery (I know, right?) and cabbage. I also put down asparagus and got very little response.. but they DID come up.. and the package said I would get slight yields the first year.. second year should be better.. we'll see..
Okay.. soon.. I promise!
