Not all of those 70qts are tom-tom stuff. Think I’m at 28qts on cucumber pickles and 21qts on green beans.

I ran another load of spaghetti sauce after work yesterday, and had enough juice saved back to run 8 pints of that.

I don’t work this hard at it most years, but the last two I haven’t done any canning and we’re pretty much out of everything so I’m playing catch-up.

Direct link to the Raised Bed Garden designs on YouTube. Very nice! Nice music, no talking, just inspiring pictures.
