a lot about jam,not so much about tomato sauce.

just went out to the garden(it's a lot warmer out there than it is in here,(yay for the summer,but i'm freezing right now)to see if there were more tomatoes. we have just under the necessary amount to do another batch of tom. sauce,for freezing.

this morning i threw a couple of containers of random stuff that i'd dehydrated last week,that apparently,i failed to dehydrate enough,so there was still moisture and therefore...mold(ew).

brought in more seeds from the dill plants. contemplating having a year-round herb garden,since trees that were too big/shady at this time last year are gone,therefore not killing plants that i set in windows. though,i still haven't figured out a cat deterent,yet. just this morning euronymous ate,and then threw up part of a flowering plant that i brought in b/c it's pretty and the frost that is now always a possibility,will killinate it.

have yet to bring in the seeds from the lettuce or broccoli...gonna give them a week to get good and seedy.

a couple more peppers.

one,yes one, tomato that was fully ripe...

hella acorn squash,but i brought one in yesterday that is scheduled for risotto(i'm thinking of adding an apple,cinnamon and cloves,to give it a more fall-y feel.) so the others can wait.

everyday i pass the pumpkins and can't wait to carve them/make pie! but it's too early.

still contemplating making blackberry jam out of the ones that i froze from this summer. it's a very small amount and think that i want to wait,get another berry so as to be able to make an adequate amount,(or a pie?!)(besides,we still have the jam i got from the farmer's market 2 weeks ago,plus 3 things of grape jam that i just made last week...) we need more toast...or crackers,or something. still in need of a much bigger pot for jam-making and homebreewing...

the rest of the day will be spent cleaning/brainstorming/x-files watching.
