Okay; tonight I reneged on the dilly-beans.
Instead, we did 3 pints each of green beans and carrots. Carrots got a dash—yes; I have a set of those spoons—of caraway seeds in each jar. Just waiting for the canner to finish purging, so I can put the weight on it, and start building pressure.
Today, I got a few more oilseed sunflowers harvested; that makes about 20 in all so far; and it also gave us nearly 2.5 pounds of black oilseeds. That’s a lot of seeds/seed planted.
The surviving chick from the snake attack is 100% totally, certifiably, psychotically insane. Since it is now somewhat larger than a large game hen, we’re going to use some of the leeks in the garden, and invite it to a cocky-leeky dinner next week...an offer he can’t refuse.
Hubby is drying zuke chips on the dehydrator. We figure they can be reconstituted when it’s time for zucchini bread this winter.
