Nothing against it,,,just easier to buy what want canned.
Hard, hard freeze in NE OK this winter...Coldest ever since I lived here...killed some stuff. Had a Hedge that looks like it is going to die..
My Bonsai plants seem to be okay....
Got Asparagus coming up..and it is GOOD!... Planting some Tom's and berries...Not big on vining stuff...as I container garden.. FWIW
At the end of the summer a couple of years back, I bought a case at half price of wide-mouth lids and rings-That’s about 144 lids and rings. We also keep a stash of about 8 new cases of jars and lids. As soon as one case is used, we buy another.
I also usually buy several extra packages of lids at the end of the summer sales-not last summer though. Hubby ran across some earlier this year and bought about 8 boxes from a couple of different stores.
After all this time, though we often have enough previously used jars to do most of the year to year canning. Hubby bought a bunch of regular mouth jars pints and half pints-I was trying to phase out use of regular lids, by giving them at Christmas to the kids and grandkids with their favorite goodies—usually some form of pickled something. So if we run short-it’ll be regular lids not the wide mouthed.
OH! Thanks for the heads up.
