Put 85 canning jars on Craigslist this morning plus lids and bands. $85.

I freeze everything but salsa now.

A very nice lady came and picked up the jars yesterday. More room in the basement.👍👍

That’s good Bob..  Someone can always use them.   And the prices are ridiculous now..
I’m sure I have enough. 
 All depends on how much I give away.

[rgfixit]

Hear you there bud. I gave away more than I bought. They never seem to come back home.

Been picking and caning tomatoes for sauce and salsa most of the day.
 Garden is still going strong..
Shelf’s are getting full. 
Love it..
 Did two of these baskets.  About 36 pounds total..

Nice Dom.
Mowed greens this morning. Made a huge pot of chicken stock the past couple days. A real chore while I’m getting over some flu. But it kept me moving in a good way. A dozen containers of stock in the freezer and a pot of chicken soup on the stove for supper.

Prepping for mowing in the rain tomorrow. Hot soup will hit the spot at the end of that day.

Also bought a super heavy duty rain suit. If I don’t stay dry after that purchase, I give up. I hate getting wet working.

You guys have a good recipe for Hamburg relish, or chilli sauce ,thanks.

Well, a lot of my tomatoes split with the recent rains. So I thought…what to do?

So, I gathered them all up and blanched them to remove the skins.

 There’s three or four varieties there.

Best option was Stewed Tomatoes.



We love stewed tomatoes. 4 containers plus one for dinner tomorrow.

Works for us!

Perfect Bob..  That’s why we grow them..

My garden is still going crazy.  Been giving tons away. 
Calling for frost this weekend. Will see what happens..

That's great! Yea my peppers started out slow..but man now... endless!

[Raquettedacker]

We picked all the sweet peppers but there’s still a bunch of hot ones left.
 Tomatoes are just silly this year. We and canned and frozen enough for 2 years..   Still getting cucumbers and nice small zucchini’s . Mindy made chocolate chip, zucchini cookies the other night.   I should weigh 300 pounds.  But still 190.  😎
