Good morning gardeners. Weather has been great here in East Central Mississippi but my garden is basically done for the season. I do have some paste tomatoes coming along just fine and hope they produce before the first frost. They have a good chance to produce because the first frost around here is usually in late October or early November.
If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.
I hope all your gardens are flourishing.
Oh crud, that makes me wonder about the *jar* of pickled beets I did. I just did the hot water bath, I’d have to look at the recipe to see how long, and I added ten minutes to that. But now I’m wondering if it is OK? The brine is 50% vinegar, but the salt called for wasn’t a whole lot. Anyone know if this is OK?
I’m not the guy who has the knowledge to help. If the new gardening thread starts today, post it there because this one is about to be replaced with a new one.
FR is backup at this time Red...
What did you do with the sauce?
