My absolute FAV tomato sauce recipe "Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Sauce" Enjoy! www.saltandlavender.com/roasted-tomato-red-pepper-sauce/ A few of my notes: 1. I double or triple the recipe depending on what I have brought in from the garden 2. I freeze the sauce (it's not said to be canning safe). It takes multiple rounds in the oven but it's worth it! 3. I always use Romas and red peppers but the person who gave me the recipe uses whatever she has on hand (ex. slicing tomatoes, any color peppers, etc.) Since I use a paste tomato and remove the core, I can basically remove the seeds before it goes into the oven which eliminates the need to run it through a mill later. 4. I have made it without removing the skins from tomatoes and peppers but the texture is so much better when I remove the skins from both after they come out of the oven and before I put them in the food processor. 5. This makes a really thick sauce, and it's wonderful on a good piece of bread but I also use it as a tomato sauce and just thin it a bit (water or stock) when I thaw/heat it later. You could also get a thinner sauce if you used a combo of slicing tomatoes and Romas or decibels if you only used slicing tomatoes.

Hi Batavia. Thanks for sharing! I had great luck with Kennebec in a 40 gallon grow bag. I planted two pounds seed potatoes; harvested a bit more than 8 pounds.

I planted 6, 2-inch yukon gold in 3, 7-gallon grow bags and harvested 26 same size potatoes and 10 tiny ones to use for seed next year. Kennebec should do better than Yukon Gold I think but maybe not. Many grand blessings everyone everywhere.

I have a number of stray cats and squirrels (raccoons too) that frequent my garden and I have found this netting helpful to discourage those creatures from crawling into my garden bed. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08B5RDNN2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I don't know if it would help with rodents as I think they may be more inclined to eat through it.
