Raised bed might be just a tad overcrowded. (tomato, corn, two kinds of beans, peppers and a few flowers) I did learn that beans and tomatoes do not do well together. Well, not if you have to spray BT. Burnt leaves on the beans both times so far.
Saved seed Cherubs. Turned out pretty good. A hair longer than the ones you buy in the store. Same taste and skin toughness.

As soon as I saw the photo I knew it was a mortgage lifter, they are a beautiful tasting tomato....I've grown Mortgage Lifter. It's a great tomato that produces large yields of big tomatoes. This is the first year in quite a few I haven't grown any. This year I'm growing Siletz, Siberia, Delicious, and just plain Beefsteak from some cheap 20¢ pack of seeds.
A Mortgage Lifter from a couple years ago.
these are called medium rare by burbee. They are delicious ,one of the best I've ever had.

I never had much luck with sweet corn, only tried it twice with Silver Queen and it was tough both times. Old timer told me it was too old. Always seemed like too much effort for too little product.

My view also, the son wanted to grow it so we tried. I can buy it for less than a dollar an ear so I see no point.

You can freeze tomaotes.

I just throw them in there whole, unless I plan on making sauce with them. We've made yellow marinara before, looks strange but tastes just fine.

So full up with tomato basil mozzarella. Need more ideas. Thank you for the suggestion.
Should just start brewing chili to freeze for the winter

Maybe too mature. Corn comes and goes so fast I always say it's not worth it. But that first mess of the year. . . . .

Rainy day here, so I have more wifi time than normal. Looked through my pictures and posts, and realized I hadn't posted pictures of my in ground Indian corn and squash patch. My main hangout is under the house, and while the raised bed gives me good privacy from my straight across the river neighbors, there was still line of sight with the house on the diagonal. So. . . . .
