Made 18 pt of soup yesterday..
The only thing that isn't from the garden is carrots , celery,Onions..
I normally have plenty of celery and onions from the garden .NOT this year.
My clay dirt can't grow carrots
mix a bag or two of sand into the clay soil, carrots will grow better. that is what we had to do as well with sand.
as far as canning, do not do that, but am sick of picking green beans already have a 4x16 ft cattle panel arched over 8 ft tall almost and both sides of climbing beans are over what I can reach on top like 9 ft tall no joke this year! Been picking 2-3 bowl fulls every few days they keep coming as long as all this rain and humidity sticks, been giving bowl fulls away to coworkers. We blanched a few quart bags but do not need 30-40 quart bags of frozen blanched garden beans to eat the next 2 years worth. Besides, my freezer is full of sweet corn already froze about 6 dozen.
