Tonight, it was 5 pints of pickled carrots with radishes. Last one just finally went PING! and sealed.
Tomorrow, dilly beans.
This morning, there are two tiny bits of green growing in one of the baby carrot cups.
The bush bean plants spurted up more last night and they are about three inches tall now. I need those cheap grow bags to get here as these beans are fast outgrowing those two cups. I have five gallon and ten gallon sacks coming and they have been shipped.
Why don't local stores carry what we need? Maybe it's just here in the south that none of what I need is local to buy. I always check stores on line here and they never have what I need and that is not just gardening stuff - it's prepper stuff, too. In my opinion, go above the Mason Dixon line and that's where stuff is.
When people came to this country on the east coast, as more came they needed glassware. Glassware companies came here and built plants on the east coast and that is still where most glassware is made today. One of those companies is Westmoreland and I have a number of glassware they made back then. My house is full of glassware/china/porcelain from all over the world and I have several books on the subject.
I guess in the south, cotton was king and that's what the south did for a living. At any rate, it's hard to find what I need here to buy locally.
I’m learning how to can. You say you put up 5 pints of pickled carrots with radishes. Because they were pickled, were you able to use the water bath to can them and not the pressure cooker canner?
