We got 6mm so far this month and not much more last month. I’ve been filling the closest rain barrel with tap water. And I thought last year was bad.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 weeksView attachment 113060
Exactly the same thing here. As soon as they start turning red/orange I’ve started plucking them and brining them in to finish. Rabbits and squirrels have started eating things 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?

My uncles and grandparents were into canning but my mom wanted nothing to do with it. I remember the pressure cooker and it’s locking handles and big gage but I’ve never used one. With the way life’s turned I wish I’d paid more attention to canning.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!

You dont need to pressure can tomatoes. Hot water canner is enough, if you add a tablespoon spoon of lemon juice per court. I can give you more details if you need them.save the pressure canning g for green beans and potatoesGot 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.
