Two days later, we had 24 quarts and 14 pints of "Hot Garlic Dills, on the cellar shelves...One gallon of cukes in brine are set aside for 6 weeks, then I add sugar and make sweet pickles...With a few cucumbers left over and a couple of huge red peppers in the fridge, I decided to make a bread and butter pickle that I've named "Confetti Pickles."..Patty pans, zucchini, and onions from our garden made up the mix and the red peppers added color...Sugar, salt, and vinegar for the brine.
Cukes ready to scrub and trim.

Confetti bread and butters
Patty pan squash that took over the garden! 😀😀
Thursday was a day of rest, sort of...I had PT and Herb mowed lawns...Friday morning early, I had 25# of tomatoes washed, scalded and started to peel...Herb had been outside doing a little deadheading before he sat down for his breakfast of oatmeal and said, "My hand doesn't want to work and my face feels funny."...I looked at him and said, "Get your coat, we are going to the ER."...5 hours later we were back home, diagnosis was a TIA or mini stroke...Some of his medication has been changed and supplements added, to ward off a real stroke.
A week later, more doctor appts, blood pressure checks etc, and Herb is back to his old self doing my honey do's and getting things ready for fall and winter...Our first snow on the mountain tops appeared last week...I finished roasting all of the tomatoes, they are in the freezer ready for sauces, soups and casseroles...Life goes on here on Barton Heights...Hugs to All...OWAV:)
Ready for the oven.
Well Roasted.
