I'm hoping to be in that predictment next year when I plant a veggie garden. Of course, Sue, then I'll have to bug you about how to can..."G"

I'll gladly try and help. I suggest you getting one of the newer Ball Blue Books that covers canning, freezing, and preserving. It might make some good wintertime reading as you 'plan' out all the goodies you plan to plant next season.

So far today I have done a batch of salsa, 14 quarts of green beans, and now have another batch of salsa cooking and about 16 quarts of tomatoes cooking. Buckets are washed and jars are ready. I guess I could go pick more maters, but then I would have to 'deal' with them.
I wanna get this stuff done, so I can later spray some round-up. I don't want to spray until I am all done handling any produce or utensils in any way...sigh. Guess I could also go and water something...or pick the grapes...sigh

hmmm..maybe wine out of the grapes..."G"

luky sue! i miss canning.
i made my garden bigger this year but not getting enough for canning. not one green pepper yet:(

Hi Sue,
I am behind due to canning and preparing for the tomato party!
I've done salsa and blackberry jam. I'm doing hot pepper jam tommorrow. Plus I have to do tomatoes tomorrow too. Oh I need to save tomato seeds too!
