:D Good for you! As a fellow member of the small and unpretty club I can vouch for the fact we make a lit of good stuff, sauce included.
The garden yielded more than something, we ate our own potatoes for almost nine weeks. Next time we're doubling the amount we plant. This is a huge success. Aubergines are turning out nicely for the time being, too.
Vine ripe Tomatoes are the garden produce I miss the most during the long, dark winters. My Chickens decimated most of them, but many other neighborhood gardens survived and made enough for the unluckier ones.
We used to be a tomato and tobacco farming community-- everyone helped pick, transport and pack tomatoes along with working thru the tobacco harvest and hay gathering. This was before the government convinced our elders the land we were occupying and farming was only viable for collecting tourist dollars and bought out the allotments they controlled.. big mistake that turned out gentrifying our communities to be taken over by consuming implanted folks who only build overly large houses while making the government taxation schemes work very well, while the local people were left to rot on the vine and be economically shut out.
Never trust government boondoggles brandishing their interests above what was working well for a pie in the sky life of ease. Lives of ease are bad for human health, while any food production is good for it.
I have been small and ugly my whole life yet I make a good sauce, so I have been told. Good to see the garden yielded something.

This sounds like a horror story, Marty, I'm sorry to hear it. Overbetting on tourism has never worked well.
