Toots I have been thinking of posting something along the same lines as your op. The variety I planted was straight 8. Some are bitter and some are perfect. They have had plenty of water from me and from rain and fed well.
So I will ask what is a good recomendation to plant that will satisfy...
What folks around here call moon flowers are white and grow on a vine. I think this is what I am talking about, looks identical to the ones I am talking about. Or at least I think it is in that family. What I have is much taller and the seed pods are different. But at least the picture of the...
I don't know the real name of the flowers. The lady I got them from just called them 9 O'Clock. They are a yellow flower and the stems are about ft tall at full growth. They start blooming at 9 pm in the evening and by 9:20 they are all done. They open fast enough that it looks like someone used...
The local VFW had a wood fence that they wanted taken down and DH offered to do it for the wood. He made me a picnic table out of the wood that will seat 8 people. It will replace my old rotted one that was falling apart. We will use the table when I have my annual Garden Party. Which is usually...
Blurose, I just made the second recipe you posted. Got it from a friend and it was a little different in that it called for the jars to be heated in the oven, I boiled mine for 10 minutes anyway.

Great looking produce you have there. That squash might be large but it still looks the right color and tender. What kind of green beans did you plant?
I use the Ball Book for all my canning. Just love the B&B pickles, goin to do some today. So far this season I have had only 2 jars not seal and that was green beans and we just ate them for supper that night.
I use Ball Blue Book for all canning and if it says water bath, that is what I do, if it says pressure can, that is what I do.
JMO I think pressureing tomatoes would turn them to mush.
