Nope to both.

Yep, that.

Jars are too stinking expensive so I can only increase our jar stash slowly year-by-year. Used to have a lot but lost them in a move. So we dehydrate and freeze what we don't eat. But, boy, we eat a LOT. We're all fresh tomato maniacs.

Stupid rain needs to lay off for a bit so I can get more stuff planted. And the chicken house completed. The birds are starting to resemble sardines.

We have asparagus. We must be getting a couple of pounds a day or more. We don't make it out every day and we should.
I am going to can asparagus and the lady who comes in is going to help with it. She will bring her own jars and we will split 50/50. Such a deal eh?

Fruit trees have set fruits. We pray for no hail nor freezing. Bugs nor blight, thunder nor lightning.
