Preserving The Harvest
This year, due to the abundance of insects, more specifically slugs, we mostly have the tomatoes to harvest from the garden.
And it has been an AWESOME tomato year. We have so many! Many more than we can eat while they’re fresh.
So we’re freezing them. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have a standalone freezer. We are chopping up the tomatoes, placing them in milk bags (this Canadian way of supplying milk makes the BEST freezer bags) and we’re putting them in the freezer. I don’t skin the tomatoes or blanche them. We’re fine with tomato skins in our soups and stir fries.
It is wonderfully reassuring to have a freezer filled with food. (smiles)

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
***
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

Tomato Update
We have SO many tomatoes!
Our freezer is stuffed with them. We’ve frozen 30 plus 1.3 L/45 fluid ounce milk bags filled with tomatoes (milk bags are the BEST freezer bags). That’s enough for the entire winter.
The squirrels and the slugs have taken their share and continue to feast.
We’re now happily giving tomatoes away to neighbors and nearby loved ones. It is such a great problem to have.
The bell peppers are almost eatable size. The beans continue to produce. The carrots remain extremely tiny but we still have a couple weeks until first frost.

Tomatoes And The Mafia Squirrels
The Mafia Squirrels and I have come to an agreement.
I leave some of the ripe mini tomatoes on the low hanging branches for them.
And they leave my larger heirloom and beefsteak tomatoes alone.
(grins)
They taunt me, of course. The squirrels will eat the mini tomatoes VERY slowly while they sit on top of the fence and watch me weed the vegetable garden.
Sometimes, a bunch of them will gather and throw chestnuts at me from their perches in the chestnut tree. They chatter at me and at each other after every throw. I’m almost certain there is a contest over who can hit me. (laughs)
They are such menaces but they are adorable and I love them so much.

The Tomato Saga
Up north, when I was a kid, we didn’t care if a tomato was indeterminate (never stopped growing) or determinate (only grew to a certain size).
Heck. I didn’t even know there were different kinds of tomatoes when I was younger. We harvested seeds from the previous year’s tomatoes to grow.
Were they heirloom, hybrid, beefsteak, other? We didn’t know.
And it didn’t really matter. Our growing season was so short, if we started the tomatoes from seed outside, they never grew very tall.
Frost would come when the tomatoes were still green. We’d pick them, wrap them in newspaper, put them in the cool unfinished basement to ripen.
Each plant, if we were lucky, would give us about 4 or 5 tomatoes. That was a good harvest for us.
I warned my city-boy Dear Wonderful Hubby we’d likely get 4 or 5 tomatoes per plant this year. We had a lot of successful plants (around 30 of them). That yield would give us enough tomatoes for the year plus we’d have some extras to give to loved ones.
I miscalculated.
(sheepish grin)
We started the tomato plants inside the house and we’re growing them in the south (of Canada) now. We have a MUCH longer growing season.
And I think some of the plants are indeterminate because they seem to produce more flowers every dang day.
Anyhoo… if all those flowers bear tomatoes, we’ll likely have enough tomatoes to feed our entire neighborhood.
That is a happy problem to have.
