Now that the weather has cooled down to something reasonable I managed a couple of hours of weeding, harvesting watering today. I think I'm going to make homemade tomato sauce and freeze it for the winter. It has a more distinct flavor than store-bought stuff, so I add the homemade stuff to it to flavor it up.
Not much of a harvest this year bc late planting and Dr appts (leading to a certain amt of neglect) plus that 10-day hot spell, put a damper on production. But my peppers did better this year than previous years. Smaller than store bought but much much sweeter.
The Early Girls are doing well. My other varieties still aren't producing. They're very long- season tomatoes planted late, and were JUST beginning to flower when the heat wave struck. But they're growing robustly which is telling me that they would do well if planted earlier.
We had garden okra in our ham and veggie soup yesterday, first time ever. Also heat-loving and long season but worth planting next year.

Finished the antibiotics the dentist gave me today. And my mouth seems to be healing really well.
Only one thing with this dentist and the pharmacy, they each wanted to give me codeine. I can't have it.
Though I will say the dentist office have learned to stop asking me if I am in pain when I have to go back and double check something. Screw up on the billing, their fault.

Trap door.
I need access down there in case anything ever goes awry again. 3 years later it looks good, so it will probably be fine. But I didn't want to leave myself with the only option getting down there to either cut a hole in the floor later or destroy new drywall and trim to do it.
Got the garage as clean as I could with all of the stuff from the shed still in there until I'm ready to put it all back.
Friend's dad came over late in the afternoon and we got the rest of the drywall put up and the 1st coat of mud on it all.
Tomorrow morning before he gets here I'm going to use the spray foam to insulate the windows and do some repairs to the ceiling. We're going to pick up the 1x4 we need to frame out the window jambs and get them cut to size so I can prime and paint them before they're installed. I can get that paint started while he's mudding the 2nd coat tomorrow.
Very exciting.
Still no word on my car though. Getting a little annoyed about that one right about now.
