Yup, more tomatoes

I've decided to make tomato sauce (plain, not seasoned) to can with all these tomatoes.
So with that in mind, I bought some more pint-sized jars.
Today I blanched, skinned, and seeded all the tomatoes from the last picking which had finally ripened on the counter.  Not enough yet for sauce, so I froze one big gallon-sized bag, and one quart-sized bag. 
 Just in time to pick this many more today!

I'm picking them more and more orange these days, but I keep thinking it's going to frost any time now.

Plus one more regular cucumber, and lo and behold, 4 small lemon cucumbers. They are covered in black spiky hairs, and I have no idea if they're ripe. I'll have to taste one. Unless it is out-of-this-world good, I don't think I'm planting them next year!
