This is basically an update to my post about what we planted this year in our gardens... we never did get the garden in town planted, so... no tomatoes to can this year, or peppers, which means no salsa! Or tomatoes for homemade tomato soup! Or tomato sauce or any other tomato goodies!
On top of not getting the garden in town planted, the garden that we planted at The Land didn't do so great either. The deer ate most of it (thinking of building a fence next year!) All I can say is UFFDA! A bad year for canning; we have onions, pumpkins, sunflowers, and green beans (which I decided to freeze because I have enough canned beans from last year left.) I guess we do have cucumbers for pickles though, so I have at least one thing to can! I've also been looking in the grocery stores for crates of pears (my son LOVES canned pears!) but haven't seen any yet. One thing I have in the works to can is Wild grape jelly, the grapes are about ripe! What else could I can??
