WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[frustratedearthmother]

Nine pints of squash in the canner. This is from ONE Argonaut squash....and there's some of that squash left over to make puree.

DH asked me if I'm planting this next year. Yep - but maybe only one hill, lol!

Order has been placed...corn, red onions, hot yellow peppers. Hopefully we will find lima beans, okra, and jalapeños this weekend

Okra, jalapeños, red chili peppers, purple hulled peas bought today. No lima beans anywhere. Coolers will be full heading home on Monday.

She found shelled lima beans. We had to buy another cooler for the trip home. This time next week I will be exhausted. Lol

Corn. Corn. Corn. Started about 7 last night with prepping for freezer, on cob. Found freezer was already almost full. . Then shucked, cleaned, cut off cob....had 14 pints pipped at 4am. I can SURE see how double stacking is a good thing. But, don't have.

After work, I'll start up about 2 today....you got it, shuck, cut, can. This takes so much prep time! Haven't put up corn in years so a reality check going on.

I'm thinking green beans will probably be supplying enough to can at least one canner this weekend. While I am blessed and happy to have this food -- the workload is growing. And there is the milk, cream, cheese to do needs. Tomatoes are threatening me with even more.

We need veggies to arrive "by appointment"...

ETA....friend called yesterday to say figs ripening and please stop today for those she's picked. Will be dehydrating those today, too.

YES! I did 7 pints of green beans yesterday and there is more to do and I have been shoving tomatoes in the freezer as they come, so that will be a next week's project

Have a funeral to attend tomorrow morning. We will see what we can tackle tomorrow afternoon.

Corn still. I'm about done...chickens will get some now. Another field should be fresh in couple weeks, I'm told. Saving myself for that. Yep...with rain it'll be a green bean weekend! Got my other cheese cultures, so I want to get that cheddar started. Need to work it into the schedule.
