Wow, makes my 3 plants look lazy, LOL!

My cucumber plants started looking weird - brown spots, then dead leaves, then dead vines. Next year I’ll have to figure out what that was and prevent it.

I am getting a boatload of tomatoes and green beans still. I like having an excess of vegetables I can can.

But I’m still trying to figure out my tattler lids. I’ve canned about 30 quarts od water, trying different techniques for tightening the lid to see what works without having to deal with food that didn’t seal. I still have 4 jars of apple pie filling in the frig..

Jackie Clay has some clear, easy to follow instructions for tattler lids. There’s a section about them in her article here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/clay-atkinson142.html

Or, if you get BHM, check the “Ask Jackie” section of the latest issue.
(I tried finding an online version, but it looks like that was print-only. Sorry.)
