Noel has done it again. There are tomatoes everywhere in this house and still on the vine. Tomorrow is the first of October and there are still bowls of tomatoes to pick! Last week I canned two batches (14 pints) of salsa and baked a tomato cobbler with blue cheese biscuits. Yesterday I roasted some tomatoes with olive oil and garlic – yum! Today I will be making eggplant pasta sauce for the freezer. If you want to find our other favorite tomato recipes just go to...

As we move into fall, we’re still getting lots of good stuff from the garden. The tomato plants are succumbing to late blight, but it doesn’t matter anymore because we have already harvested all we need and there is still plenty of fruit ripening on the vines. Eggplants and peppers are still producing We have to pick green beans daily. We have a good lettuce crop; the cilantro patch is loaded, and Judy is pleased with the nice sage. Our basil is still nice and...

Help! The summer squash are taking over the kitchen. We had planned to plant two yellow squash and two zucchini plants but one zucchini plant expired and we only had a yellow squash as a spare, so three yellow and one green. We are harvesting some green zucchini just about every day, but we’re choking in yellow squash. Along with tomatoes ripening overnight, the counters are covered once again. It’s hard to find a spot to prep for the freezer, let alone make...

This was a good year for garlic here in southern Wisconsin. The bulbs were bigger than ever due to all the rain we had. Since Noel uses the raised bed method of growing there was plenty of drainage, otherwise there would have been some mushy garlic. The bulbs came out beautifully. We do plant our own saved garlic cloves every year so I'm sure they are acclimatized for our seasons as well. Rarely a day goes by without using garlic in my cooking. I especially...

We are so pleased to announce that CobraHead tools are now available in Australia and New Zealand!
