102 degrees here today, cold and snow Tue. & Wed. Guess the gardening is done here. One more hot day and I’m heading to the field in the morning to pick tomatoes to can before the weather sets in.

@Fat-Bob You must be in Montana. I was shocked when on assignment in Montana as one day it was 106 & I did not realize it got that hot there, then a few days later it was down into the teens & 20s with snow. Amazing.

I checked again just the other day & they were completely wiped out of anything canning, jars, lids, anything. Oh the only thing they had was Ball books & it looked like no one had even touched those good books.

calldoctoday Had to go to the store for a few things and the few wide mouth lids they had yesterday were gone. One big empty isle. Not sure anyone but a Star Trek fan would understand this prase, but “message Spock?”

Chef sometimes your local hardware store will have canning supply’s

craigrice I bought them out 2 months ago

Well I got after the canning this weekend pickles, salsa, and pizza sauce.

Started a new project today making some fermented pickles.

I did a little research on using grape leafs in making pickles and found out it is the tannins in them that keep pickles crisp. Other things more readily available I found you can use are bay leafs, coffee and even tea bags. I went with bay leafs so I’ll see how that works.

Tex_77 growing up I never knew that pickles came in a jar, always went to get pickles and veggies from great grandma’s crocks. Her cold storage area reminded me of a mad scientist lab, sort of like the old Boris Karloff Frankenstein movies, but I can still remember all the smells of fermenting veggies.

Getting ready to make horshradish and looking for some advice.I have been making it for years but it is always good at the beginning but looses its punch fairly quickly.Am I missing something?

Tex_77 Wow, been meaning to took that up but that’s great. If it is the tannins, wonder if an acorn would work?
