Weeds were so bad in my tomato garden , due to no time to work it , I ran the small rotary garden through the rows. NowI can find my Big Boy tomato's. Man are they good on lunch meat sandwiches.
 
Tomatoes coming on strong as are wax beans. Plenty of basil to add to the tomatoes for bruschetta. The potatoes are about ready to dig and I have a bunch of winter squash.
 
I planted turnips this morning for the first time. Usually I use that particular garden bed for spinach. Spinach wasn't successful last fall and winter so I may try some different spinach varieties in planters. Blue kale and red mustard seedlings are thriving in planters right now and are ready to transplant into the garden.
 
Canning more tomatoes today. 20 more quarts gives me 45 quarts of tomatoes this year. As my dad would say "it will taste better than a snowball this winter"
 
From my garden two days ago.

Just finished canning all the tomatoes as sauce. It made a year's supply.
165++ lbs. of garlic hit the farm stand. selling well as braids, by the pound, and our own garlic powder.
Turning my attention to the dry beans of many varieties next. Buckets are lined up awaiting the bean machine. Makes short work of things as I have way too much to try and bang in a garbage can or stomp on burlap bags to shell them. Hardwood paddles on a go-cart axle strip the pods at 170 rpm, and a trap door underneath opens to dump the beans into a plastic cement mixing tub, ready for winnowing.
