With all the tomatoes, you're bound to have some green ones left at the end of season. If you've never tried Green Tomato Jam, this might be the year. Tomatoes, red or green, make a lovely sweet jam. I always end up giving half my stash as Christmas gifts.
@@GagneFarmsMe too. Learning the best ways to save my own seeds so I can keep producing my own stuff. The more the variety grows in your area the more it developes to your area, generation after generation.
I don't think I could ever grow enough celery. Such a versatile veggie. Celery and cheese, celery and PB, stir fry, salads, soups. So many good things to eat with it.
Need to rethink my fortification around my peach tree for next year. I had successfully had 15 peaches blossom all on two branches from my 3yr old golden jubilee peach tree lost a few to what i thought was squirrels so I put up nylon deer fence 7’ tall and 4 stackes I pull a 1 last Wkend and it was not ripe enough very firm so I waited pulled one Fri night and woke up sat Am to find only three tiny hidden fruit. I’m torn want to gut every deer with in sight 😔I m going to really protect my tree next season 😉
Yeah they are always an issue. That sucks I hope you have better luck in the future. That's why I have the fence around the garden that I do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to harvest!
I love finding volunteer garden plants, especially tomatoes! I'm currently getting a second harvest of asparagus, having accidentally discovered that it loves to companion with alliums after finding huge stalks coming up around some volunteer chives. I threw in a few bunching onion seeds and the asparagus has grown like crazy.

I have never tried green tomato jam before I wil have to give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion! 😁
Do you save seeds from your harvests?
Yes we do. And this year we are saving more than ever. That is something that we are starting to get better at.

Ach! In my area of Idaho Shasta Daisies are noxious. Once they get started they spread and are hard to control even in a garden.
Yeah we are going to see what happens with these. I hope they don't go too crazy! 😆

We are noticing the same thing around here, we love it! 🙂

That's a great idea! I might have to give that a try! Thanks for the tip! 😃
I really enjoyed this garden tour… I need to assess what we eat and how much to put up or give away. Thanks!!
Yeah that has been our downfall in the past. But we are working to correct that this year!
I also didn't get to my Florida Weave around the tomatoes. Don't feel bad. Lol
Thanks. I'm sure we are not the only ones! 😃
@@GagneFarms I saw a video from someone else, I think the permaculture consultant but even he forgot to ask well. So it must be a thing this year. Lol
