A Turkey In The Hay 🦃

Greenhouse Seeds White Rhino 9/07/25

Almost 3" since 4pm. yesterday!
This will definitely get me over the hump, I hope it helps my neighbors as well, some of them haven't had water for weeks

Weather reports say we are 3 inches short of rain for last month~!
Hope everyone gets even without having to have rain every weekend for 26 weeks like last fall/spring.

I hear you, but I wouldn't mind a few more weekends of rain if I'm honest, we've been in severe drought conditions for weeks & I keep getting severe fire danger alerts too!

So Tomatoes were a month late and they ripened in an odd manner, and we already have Frost Warnings for tomorrow morning! The weather is so screwed up, I wonder why?

Got a lot of tomatoes to process tomorrow, well it's today now, got about three or four times what's in the picture to do.

Finally going to get some use out of that new 23 quart Presto that I've never used since I bought it back in 23, the spring it rained for almost a month straight and the gardens sucked, then last year I didn't have enough to can because I freeze until I can't fit anymore in, and I gave a lot to my neighbor too. But this year the freezer's already full.

My late first wife taught me to can back in the 80's, and I used to sterilize medium for growing shroom's when I was following the Dead in the 90s, but I haven't used a pressure canner since, and they are a bit intimidating.

I've never used one on an electric stove which I'm not the biggest fan of to begin with, but I have the manual that came with the Presto and an Amish book on canning that I'm going to cram through this morning, so hopefully I won't blow myself up!
