WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[Hinotori]

Gardening with my Moms input. No thanks. She has sandy soil and lives in the desert. I'm on rocky glacial till over clay deposits and have a marsh.

I mentioned that I stripped a friend's garden. Well, I thought it was just going to be me, but her mother was there helping. Ok, no problem.

When we finished, she took all the tomatoes. I reminded her that I wanted some, and she said she had put some in the car. Bald-faced lie. She knew it and I knew it. I let it go.

Then I went over a few days later, and all those beautiful tomatoes were turning to sludge, no one turning or inspecting them.

Going to waste. That hurts more than not getting any in the first place.

Happy ending! I got them! I got a call from my friend this afternoon asking me to come get them, since they were smelling up her house and her mother wasn't doing anything with them.

We got all the rotten stuff sorted out and I ended up with two boxes fully ripe that I'll process in the next few days, two boxes to ripen for later, and a box of peppers as a bonus!
