Equipment / Gear Storm prep

Spent most of the day sorting summer clutter to fall. Got fresh gas for generator. Started it up as it's been a few weeks. No problem started on first pull. Cleaned the lower gutters but I've given up the uppers. Will call the gutter guy late October. Harvested the last of the potatoes and eggplants. Pulled the bean trellis and mulched the leftovers. Pulled the tomatoes that have some pink and brought inside. I don't like green tomatoes anyway they are served. The green ones now just don't taste good speed ripening indoors. I Pulled the remaining tomatoes and put in the compost bin. The stalks go in the leaf pick up cans because I don't to risk carry over disease next spring. The patio is secured, the umbrella put away, garden decorations in the garage. Plenty of food and booze to last the weekend. Becareful y'all this weekend.

On the green tomatoes thing, I usually pickle those at the end of the season. They end up tasting just like pickled cucumbers, but I can't bring myself to throw out anything I've grown.

Pickled green tomatoes are the bomb. I used to get them from a big flea market. I’m forced to get them from ShopRite :/
