I interrupt my regularly scheduled Monstrous Monday post for our monster harvest we worked on over the weekend.
Long-time readers will know that my wife has a huge garden. She has over 115 tomato plants and somewhere north of 120 peppers from sweet to super hot.
We brought in tomatoes, peppers, carrots, garlic, some onions, okra, beans, basil, and even some potatoes.
We spent Sunday processing them all.
I processed about 3 gallons of Tomato sauce and we also made tomato soup to freeze.
This was our third harvest this year so far and we have least two more. With all the picking (and you have to do the weeding then too), processing, and freezing, we hit the couch last night, and both of us crashed. This was all a lot easier 25 years ago when she started her garden.
Honestly, I should have made a "Tomato Monster" but was too beat.
Now to convince my chef son to make me something will all this garden fresh produce!
That's a lot of tomatoes.
