Wife’s making tomato soup to put up for this winter style meals. All the ingredients are from the garden…. She’s adding some bell peppers this time for a boost of flavor….
2x daily harvests are in full swing. Cukes are wrapping up, going to yank and replant new next weekend. Cherry tomatoes are over my head and breaking twine supports, need to improve/get newer twine next year or spend more time putting up more supports to spread the weight on all tomatoes. Big maters are finally turning, BLTs this week and large harvests on the horizon. Just picked up 3 plants and retied due to weight. Bell peppers are looking great and putting on lots of fruit. l'll venture out to pumpkin patch later this week.
Taking the basket to the campgrounds to share with friends and families this weekend. Definitely one of the better growing seasons so far, and harvests have just began. Lets see those hauls fellas.
Had a nice peach crop. Apples are so so. Doing some apple tree pruning and re-shaping last fall changed things in my opinion. Trying to determine which ones are going to survive and thrive. We lost our biggest/best tree. Lost limbs on one apple and one peach tree due to the weight (and probably some wind and possibly that doe that kept yanking fruit off.) It's a learning process for me.

The garden is just hammering now. The amount of production per plant is amazing!! We will be loaded up in a couple weeks.
Took some to kiddos and two neighbors so far. Picked a bagful after a 4 day lake trip to add to the existing two platefuls I picked before leaving. Still not tired of BT sammiches almost daily. 
BLTs here tonight too. Finally got around to trimming and picking up all of rhe fallen large tomato plants. The cherries are over 8' high when standing and the metal conduit cant hold em so they'll stay on the ground. Peppers are shaping up to be the best I've ever been able to grow, hope they finish well. Just need to spend some time weeding and getting things cleaned up by end of month and I'll be happy.
The CL is an absolute beast. I thought I had weeded most of it out, but the cooler weather has it exploding out of the ground.

Dang!!! There wasn’t any near ripe maters on the vine when I picked my last bag and posted yesterday that I picked the day before. I just picked another 8-10 lb bag of several monsters.
Gonna make some salsa this week.
