September 6, 2012

So, far, mom when she has been here these two days has put up 20 jars of tomato juice, with a good friend's help yesterday. A couple weeks ago, she put up 15.  And I've had some other good friends put up about 10 other pints and quarts.  We drink most of it and will be glad to have it.

She's done some dill pickles, and someone else has too, and  another nurse rather than gardener, put some green beans in the freezer, which I will be very glad to have later.  Mom did some of those too.

For the first time we took some tomatoes and peppers to the "bountiful garden" giveaway at the cancer center.  Jim thought two shoes boxes of  yellow tomatoes were too many, we shall see, if there are any left tomorrow.  We got a couple a pears and butternut squash from there yesterday.  We didn't plant any winter squash.
