So, as the season fades into winter, I've been able to sneak just a few more tomatoes and peppers off the plants, making me reluctant to clean the beds up just yet. The weather has been crazy wet lately, so yesterday I decided to do a last look though before everything rotted. Much to my surprise, there was tons of stuff! Look at all of those tomatoes. And more importantly, look at the tomatillos! The plant I put in this year really never looked very good. Flopped all over the ground and generally was pathetic. In september I pulled off a few pathetic tomatillos, enough to make a small batch of salsa. But when I looked yesterday, I found all of these!
This does not include the two fridge drawers of eggplant and the drawer of peppers I picked before the weekend. The peppers in this pic are actually from Shawna's garden.
So, I made salsa verde and bread and butter jalapeños. And I though I was done canning for the season. Good thing I had gotten lazy and the canner was still sitting at the top of the stairs waiting to be put away in the basement.
