    Yes Mary I am in the same boat, having to buy canned veggies this year. My garden did not do well at all this year.

    This year I put up 24 pts. of tomato salsa. My dh grew everything that went in to it. Also 8 qts. of tomatoes.
    In years past I've put up beets,carrots and green beans.
    My Dh has a green thumb and has a large garden, he grows all sorts of yummy veggies for us to eat. Here's a few pictures for you to enjoy.

    We just harvested a 1.5 bushel laundry basket full of cayenne,banana and anaheim peppers yesterday. We've
    also got a good crop of bell peppers in red,yellow and green.

    I made salsa during the summer. We gave away most this harvest's hot peppers, just too many for us. I was hoping that the tomato bushes would continue to produce, but they didn't.
