Posted - Aug 29 2026 : 12:34:02 PM Michelle and Tara, you have been busy!!! How wonderful to have all of that on your shelves! The past couple of weeks Ive made sweet pickle relish, dill pickles, tomatoes, a double batch of Shirley sauce, three berry jam and plum jam. I finished drying all of my peaches and am now working my way through the apples before the pears arrive next week. Ive been stashing my plum tomatoes in the freezer until I get a bunch and then I think I will make it into salsa.

Posted - Aug 29 2026 : 10:09:31 AM Nice canning ladies. I did get 11 quarter pints of pizza sauce canned up this morning. Had just one bowl of tomatoes, so that turned out nicely. I make up a small crust and freeze them, then I have "pizza kits". I cook up a few pounds of pork sausage also and refreeze in small bags.

Posted - Aug 28 2026 : 1:25:45 PM Wow! You've been a busy lady, Michele! Hope everything is sealing up nicely. I wish I could send you some of our rain. It's settled down now, but we had 5.5 inches in 8 days. Not normal at all for August! I canned 19 pints of potatoes and 9 more jelly jars of cowboy candy. I need to get out there tomorrow and get the lima beans and peppers in the freezer.

Posted - Aug 25 2026 : 05:12:57 AM Canning canning canning! Peaches, pears, cherry pie filling, tomato sauce. Got pears dehydrating, and a few more to go. Peach jelly, and pie filling on the list for today. Also blue berry pie filling. First I got to run to a bulk food store. Turns out I was low on clear jel, darn it. Got the root crops all dug too, incase we do get rain they are calling for. We have been very dry. A half an inch for both July and August. Something had been eating on potatoes, and they were mostly dead. Happy Canning everyone.

Posted - Jul 13 2026 : 04:50:37 AM The garden produce is starting to come in around the country. Enjoy the goodness. I will head out shortly and check on my peas. I hope to get enough to freeze this year. Everything else grew like crazy since we have warmed up now. The heat is awful, in my opinion. the corn is tassleing out though. Happy Canning!

Posted - Jul 10 2026 : 2:55:01 PM Hay there,
The garden is growing and producing tons of beans and potatoes. Tomatoes are not turning red fast enough for all my tomato sandwiches but they are delicious. I've been making pickles for the last 3 days. We ending up with 36 pints of spears, some dill but most are spicy garlic. I'm thinking of canning potatoes. Do any of ya'll do that? Hugs
