Canning
-
You must be quite a ways south of me. We have yet to get into the garden. I’ll be canning more this fall than in the past. Canned goods can survive power outages. Get your supply of lids early.
However, I was very happy with the results of last year’s green beans that were frozen and vacuum sealed. Frozen is much less work.

Just planted the beans today before the rain hits again tomorrow, also got most of the squash seeds in as well. Spinach and beets are in, so now all I have left are pumpkins and they go in the compost bin, but I have to get the chickweed out first with the eco-friendly weed killer since the bee’s are busy.

Did my green beans and got 8 pints off first picking. Finally got a pressure cann

More power to you.processhead It is crazy with so much variations, all in the same country. Ours will be worn out before too long. We have dehydrated two huge batches for Leather britches & eaten three pretty decent batches fresh. There should be a bumper soon I hope, not that the Sun has finally come out.

kyle wow, we just got most everything in two weeks ago with the weather warming up. We had a couple of cold mornings in the mid 30’s when the nights cleared, but thing are popping up. My beans are just pushing out of the ground, but the cilantro came up in February from volunteer seed and lasted through hard frosts and now is like a weed. I hope you guys find some warmth up in the northern reaches of WI, you can have some of the rain we are getting hit with now. We are still getting snow in the high mountains.

kyle Taking a break for the long weekend, up at our place in the foothills. Only trouble, it’s raining but we are dry in the fifth wheel and we have our covered 30x30 area with the fire pit right next to it. It is cold though with the rain, sweatshirt weather and the mosquitos are out.

kyle A couple of pictures from yesterday of everyone bundled up. It never really got above 55 degrees and the sun came out for about an hour. It’s been fun though.

johnsbrewhouse Camping in 55 degrees is much more pleasant than 95 degrees.
You can always put on another layer of clothing in cool weather.
You can only take off so much in hot weather and still maintain community standards for decency.

Just have to be observant of the grandkids when it comes to taking off to many clothes. I don’t think I’ll be showing to much skin anyhow. The grandkids hit the creek since it never gets above 50 degrees
