This is the month of August and at the beginning of the month our beans needed to start being picked (and still need to keep on being picked).Also, right now we have I think we have about 80 tomato plants,so......
80 tomato plants + the month of August + jars + herbs = Tomato sauces! Yup! My parents were gone yesterday afternoon,so my older sister started washing, slicing tomatoes,and etc... My lil' sister and I started helping(it was mostly done by my 2 sisters, I was washing the floor and stuff. note: My sister was smashing/making the juice stuff outside) and today after it has been cooking on low for a loooong time, its time to add spices and herbs! So my house smells like tomatoes,herbs,and spices!! We also successfully grew a watermelon that's the size of the store bought ones and tastes as good too! We actually have about 5 growing,but 2 days ago we picked the one that was full grown! We always used to grow like one or 2 extremely tiny ones that had about a big handful of pink fruit inside! So I'll be doing a post with pictures soon! My sister is also getting a puppy tonight that is staying in my room! ; 0
So stand by for those posts and more fair pictures!

2 thought(s) to note :
Tomatoes - we have about a 1000 plants in the ground, so I know how you feel.
Our beans didn't do so well this year with the drought. :(
We pulled about 40 (?) watermelons out of the field a few weeks ago... I actually don't like watermelon, but they were beautiful!
Sounds like your house has been smelling good:D! Can't wait!
