Yes, I did add garlic when making the sauce. Oregano, basil, etc. do not work for my husband's digestive system. I do use them in the special lunch dishes I make for myself. I also find that a bit of sugar helps.
The cherry tomato plant is now living on the enclosed porch, where the fruit is ripening slowly. We still have a few green peppers in the garden, since my husband protected that plant. He plans to harvest them before we get another freeze--probably this Saturday night to Sunday morning.
