Hey all,

Hope everyone is hanging in there and doing well.

This has been one heck of a year for an abundance of Tomatoes, Green Beans, and Squash of any variety (Spaghetti Squash, Zucchini, Acorn for us ..) have done really well.  And now our 3rd season in a row where peppers have not done as well, chives oddly grew horribly, squash bugs have been a PITA to battle, and I think I planted radish and beets at the wrong time of year (spring,) ans I have great leaves but not much else; and while I hear i can cut the leaves and make salad, that surely was not my intent.  Oh and on the tomatoes, I'd love to discover a way to get as many large tomatoes as we do these dang volunteer tomatoes that begin and overwhelm each season. 

Anyway, so it looks like this year I'll be dehydrating Zucchini and storing mylar bags.  I have done so with 2 medium sized Zucchini and it worked great, filling approximately one half of a sandwich bag.  As for tomatoes and squash, I'm learning canning, with my wife, and our first batch sealed and now stored. 

If you garden:
1.  What grew well for you?
2.  How are you storing them (canning, dehydration, or freeze drying?)
3.  Any suggestions on alternative vegetables to plant for variety?  I'm     doubling the size of my garden next year as squash plants seem to take
    over.  
4.  Is there anything I can plant NOW or closer to fall/winter
    that I can harvest in spring?
