Sauce 'n Squash

My last post showed a large harvest from one of the tomato plants. Here is how the tomatoes look now.

It amazes me that around 13lbs of tomatoes, plus 2 onions and 3 peppers somehow turn into just over 3 quarts of sauce. I was hoping to get 6-8 quarts. I guess we'll just have to savor it that much more.

All the Spaghetti Squash vines are completely dead and brown now, so cut the squash off the vines and put them in the sun to try to get them to ripen up a bit more. Some of the vines died off before the squash on them had a chance to ripen. The color looks pretty washed out in the picture below, but about half of the squash are more green than they are yellow.

The stuff in the planters behind the squash is herbs. More Sage, Rosemary, Parsley, Chives, and Catnip than we can use.
