garden update

Yesterday I was able to get more jars thankfully! Why is it that all stores see canning as a seasonal thing? It's not! You can do it year round.

I had to go to 2 different stores to pick up 6 more cases. I really wish I could of found some at a yard sale or something. I've spent probably about $200 on jars this year alone! It's a good thing that they can be reused!

I've only got about 12 jars of stuff that I've gave away in the last year. I've not got even 1 jar back.

I've got enough tomatoes ready to go for salsa, but I don't have enough peppers. They just aren't growing for me this year at all.

Next I'm gonna start hitting up all the people I've seen with apple trees in their yards for free apples! Apple butter here I come!
