Weedwhacker said:My tomato plants may be done, but we still have large bowls full of the tomatoes out in the garage... not having a lot of luck finding people to give them to, so I decided I'd make another batch of soup to can today. Might be having a lot of "tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich" suppers this winter! So, that got rid of one bowlful; there's another identical bowl that I think I'll use to make more tomato juice. No idea what I'll do with the rest -- but quite a few still need some time to ripen so I'll have a little time to think about it.

Planted all of my garlic earlier today -- 48 cloves each of 4 different varieties, the same amount I planted last year. I don't really "need" that much, but I always save some out for planting, and of course I use a bunch of it over the course of the year, plus I usually dry some to make garlic powder. And I definitely have no problem giving garlic away if I have too much.

Yup, you have really done well on the tomatoes this season.

Good going on getting the garlic planted.

Me, I am working on my usual project of pulling tomato plants. I was able to pick a bunch more tomatoes today. Not a large harvest but any tomatoes are good to get this late in October.
