Tomatoes and peaches to go!
We've had a spell of rain-when-you-need-it weather the past couple of weeks. As late as the season is, I'm guessing Stan won't have to water any more this summer--well, except maybe fruit trees. The Contender peaches are ripening--I think that other tree must have been July Elberta, not Contender, because these peaches are so much nicer: redder, larger, tastier. I'll have to can them early next week.
The paste tomatoes are hanging out on the white tables under the maple tree...I will also deal with them next week.
Stan chopped down the first few rows of sweet corn--now we can actually see the tomatoes. (After I took this video, he got out the rear-tine tiller and worked up the ground where the potatoes were dug up.) The plants are dying on the health kick but they are done producing new fruit anyway. I would say that things are winding down, but I might can another 17 quarts of vegetable soup, plus I need to can spaghetti sauce and salsa. Maybe by this time next week, things will be winding down for real!
...still waiting for those Athena melons to ripen. They are melons, not pumpkins! What is taking so long?
