I am almost to the end of salsa making, that is if my hands hold up. I am at 80 pints and counting. Fall beans starting to bloom and cucumber plants are starting to show their demise. They produced very well and I wish them a pleasant end.
The snow peas up about 10 inches, are struggling to survive this 90 + September heat wave, and of course I am having to water them. I am using a soaker hose... because it does not take much to dry out that particular raised bed.
I could not do all this canning if I did not have a dishwasher. My Kenmore passed on a few years back and I ended up with a cheap replacement. No power to speak of and it has this screen mesh in the bottom, about 18” in diameter that prevents any food particles from getting flush out.
So IF I do not clean all particles larger than a period off the dishes, that food gets impounded and dried onto the dishes. (Note: I did not select this dishwasher ... it was the only ‘white’ dishwasher available for pick up that day for the amount of money willing to be spent.)
Guess what I am trying to say, when/if you decide to replace yours, make sure the machine will do what some claim it is suppose to do. They just do not make them like they use to, and cheap is just that cheap.
Yeh, well my old one was a Kenmore, and it wasn’t that great either. In fact I hear that due to the changes in dish detergent, lots of dishes are unclean looking.
