Canning Mania!

Some of the stuff I've canned this past week!  Tomato sauce, Tomatillo salsa, Green chile enchilada sauce, Dill pickles, Sweet bread & butter pickles, Summer squash mix, Crushed tomatoes, and lots of dried tomatoes.  There is also stuff in the freezer like Ratatouille, NY pushcart onion sauce, and Pesto

The garden is in full swing.  So far we've harvested:
20 lbs of zucchini, yellow crookneck and golden scallop squash
60 lbs of onions - yellow, white, red and chippolini
28 lbs of tomatoes for making sun dried tomatoes
20 lbs of other slicing and cherry tomatoes
13 lbs of cucumbers
10 lbs of Hatch chiles
plus cayenne peppers, eggplant, pole beans, snap beans, basil and sage

There is so much more still ripening plus carrots, more types of peppers, sweet potatoes, and another plot of tomatoes.  And then there is the fall planted stuff like cabbage, broccoli, peas, beets, kale, swiss chard, and turnips that have germinated and will be ready before the frost hits in late October.
