Seeing RED?

Weather has been affecting how the garden is producing and specifically the tomatoes. We have been cucumber rich but  do you know what you need to have ripened tomatoes?

Heat.

And recently we finally got some summer heat. In fact look at today's temperature. Uh huh, that's right  102 degrees Fahrenheit without that heat index.  Now those green tomatoes have turned red. Lots of red tomatoes!

We are talking 21 qts of tomatoes which cooked down to 15 quarts.

Next  project this week will be spaghetti sauce... Not bad for this summer's first tomato canning right here in the End of the Rainbow Valley.
