So not much produce from my garden is being preserved, but we are eating some broccoli and eating tomatoes.
I will freeze some more tomatoes today before they go bad and hopefully with some rain and cooler temps, the new beans will give us some green beans to eat. I need to plant the beets again. They didn't come up - probably because I did not water them!
Pumpkins aren't doing much unfortunately. I don't know which varieties ended up coming up, but they aren't growing very long tendrils. The one in the front bed under the boy's window has some type of fungus/mold so I don't know if it will do anything at all :(

Fall Garden
At the beginning of August we did plant some more green beans, sugar snap peas, onion sets and some beets, a few black beans too.
The beets do not seem to have made it though the others are coming up now.
So far I've canned one pint of pickled beets (we have 2+ in the frig) and 9 pints of whole(ish) tomatoes. Those tomatoes came from the neighbors. We've had enough tomatoes that we have eaten quite a few. My mom sent a bunch home with us and I made roasted tomato pasta with those.
I do have a large quart bag in the freezer and then part of another quart bag.
