How productive and what a feeling of accomplishment you must feel gazing at all of your bottles lined up on the bench …. no waste, saving $$ and homegrown produce to boot…what could be better!You can sit and stitch later.Jacky xox

i will be canning more tomatoes soon… probably mon afternoon or tues. then the soup… this year i am canning soup for the first time. i love seeing your jars… i still have mine on the counter.. only half of the relish has gone to the pantry…stitching takes time and so there they sit first half of the tomatoes and the relish and some jam. it will all get done in due time.

Abbondanza, abundance, riches. Your kitchen must smell heavenly from those tomatoes. When we fill our pantry with food that we have grown or purchased and put up ourselves, it is such a sense of accomplishment. Just imagine grace, one night in December, frost, wind and snow on the ground, inside on your stove, a pot of sauce made from the work that you did today…how deeply gratifying.

23 pints of what? It would be beer here in the UK… he! he!, but tomatoes sound good to me. Our crop was not very good at all, blight/black spot was a problem.I would love to have those stashed away for the winter.. A joy.

Our tomatoes this year were very poor, your plants certainly produced lots in the end. This year I focused on Zucchini relish….yummy in the depths of winter.By the way LOVE your pups.
