The only thing I picked this year were some blackberries and I had nothing to do with them other than the picking. And now that the picking is done I get to go out and hack them back before they totally take over the yard. My hope this year was/is to can some tomatoes/tomato sauce but economically I'm not sure I can buy tomatoes cheap enough to make it worthwhile. this makes me think the only way to do it is to a) befriend people who overplant things and need homes for produce or b) relent and try a backyard garden next year, damn the deer and groundhogs.
