final harvests

I’ve been doing some harvesting in the garden and tearing out the plants that are no longer producing (as well as doing some weeding–there are more weeds than plants in the garden at this point). I got a bunch of tomatoes the other day–I expect to get more before all is said and done; a few more cukes; a nice bag of carrots; and a couple of beets.

I think I might make some roasted tomato sauce from the harvest. I made some the other week for pasta and had just enough left over for 2 pizzas. And, those were the best pizzas I ever made. So I’m anxious to try it again.

I ordered some garlic to plant this fall, but I’m a little worried as it’s on backorder. I sure hope they at least send me some of my order otherwise I will be SOL–I definitely don’t have enough of my own garlic to replant.

It’s kind of sad that the gardening season is coming to an end. This summer just went way too fast.
