Invasion of the Veggies

The weather was so nice in April and May but we held off till June to plant the garden.  We planted beans, cukes, tomatoes, egg plants, potatoes, zucchinis and a few other things.  We are usually two weeks behind everyone when the spring flowers come out and the garden is the same.  When the plants started to produce it was slow going.  Just enough to eat with a little left over to share.  Then all of a sudden the plants went into mass production.  I am canning 4 quarts of pickles and tomatoes every day.  I am chained to my kitchen.  When Bob comes in and wants to know if we are picking veggies after supper, I roll my eyes.  Today we picked a bag of beans and cukes and a large bowl of tomatoes.  The tomato plants are dying back but the tomatoes are gorgeous.  They are falling off the vines green ones and red ones.  We pick each one up to use.  Then we brought all the produce in.  My counter is full!  I have tomatoes, cukes and beans all over.  It is to the point when my neighbors see me coming with a white bag, they hide.  I have stuffed their mailbox and ran, left the bag on their car, anything to get rid of them so they don't rot from non use.  Help!  I am being invaded by vegetables!  Want some?......
