More tomato's and a squash

We picked a descant amount of tomato's and a squash considering it is almost the end of October. We leave for our cruse in 2 days and they probably would be destroyed by frost by the time we get back.

WECK jar test

Peppers in a WECK asparagus jar. This was test of the "non USDA" approved BPA free reusable lid WECK jar. I acquired a few of these from my sister. The benefits are that the lids are reusable (probably why the USDA no longer approves of the "nothing to buy every year") plus they just look cool.
So far they seem to work gook.
