Unfortunately can’t use the menstruating females as a causal factor, that train left the house a while ago.Run all the menstruating woman out of the house is the secret to crispy pickles!

Due to the dry conditions I think my cucumbers are toast, thinking of pulling them up and planting something. You guys got any ideas? too late to plant more tomatoes? Thanks

By August and September you will be picking tomatoes on the other side of the fence. When we get plenty of rain my tomato plants will get 8-10 ft.current look at my mess. Tomatoes are coming on strong and peppers are not far behind

Made a deal with my neighbor. He gets what grows on his side.By August and September you will be picking tomatoes on the other side of the fence. When we get plenty of rain my tomato plants will get 8-10 ft.
gonna have to cut into the drinking glasses...Hope none of you guys are having to buy new jars. Holy crap. Through the roof and dodging spaceships.
We've been stocking up for two years and I ordered sealing rings last year. We should be good for another 2 or 4 years...Hope none of you guys are having to buy new jars. Holy crap. Through the roof and dodging spaceships.
I inherited about 250 quart jars and 100 pint jars so I’ve got more than enough haha. I did order a bunch of lids last year so I’m good for about 10 yearsHope none of you guys are having to buy new jars. Holy crap. Through the roof and dodging spaceships.
I’ve got about 300 lids, couldn’t tell you how many jars, and about 24 brand new rings and a few others here and there. Don’t need many rings. I don’t run more than 2 canners at a time ever, and at 7qts each and at most, 14 resting, don’t take many rings to get by.We've been stocking up for two years and I ordered sealing rings last year.

Why y’all buying so many rings? Y’all leaving them on after you can them?

Maybe, last lids I bought were in a brown paper sleeve. Manufacture is “Newell”….which just so happens to own Ball….no troubles with them yet.depending on how you find the deal, sometimes the ring/lid combos are similar as just lids alone.
Ahhh makes much more sense now.I guess I should have simply said seals instead of sealing rings. We save and reuse the rings. Use new seals every time.
Edited mine. I meant lids ha. Yeah we only have about 24 rings we reuse for everything. I’ve got more stored always somewhere if I need themWhy y’all buying so many rings? Y’all leaving them on after you can them?
As soon as i read "grated" i immedietly thought you were going to do hashbrowns. Thats a cool idea. Zuchinni fries are great, why wouldnt hashbrowns be too?Bagged up about 15 or so (haven’t counted) 2cup bags of grated zucchini this AM. They’re currently in the freezer freezing hard enough to vacuum seal without sucking the water in. It’s unreal how much water you squeeze out of that stuff and it still is sopping wet.
Tried something I’d never had. Had about 1&1/3 cup left so I rung it out as best as I could and chopped an onion and fried with butter and a little oil. Like you would hash browns. As good or better than any hash browns you’ll eat.
I believe I’ll start a “fall” crop I a couple weeks. I’ll probably cut and kill the last big plants I’ve got that the bugs ain’t killed, before I leave, that way most of the bugs and such will be gone by the time the second crop is ready to go in. I can see them making an excellent substitute for fried taters for breakfast, never mind zucchini bread and such.
Anyone ever use the kitchen aid veggie strainer attachment thingy?
I'm hoping to get a bunch of tomatoes canned this year. Been a LONG time, but we always used a juicer to separate skin and seeds. Always made things so much faster. No blanching or hand seed removal.
Looking at options on amazon and came across the mixer attachment. It was cheap compared to juicers and I had the grinder already. So I ordered it and will ltest it out.
