Canning Season Begins



 And it may end almost as quickly. 

Apparently it is impossible to buy lids! I don't spend a lot of time in stores, and of course I never remember to look for them when I AM in a store. Mike hasn't been instructed to do so, either. He did go hunting today. He scored three boxes of wide mouth lids. :-/

I do have wide mouth jars, but not exclusively. 

I have 12 tomato plants, 10 of which will probably produce well. Eventually.  Maybe. We may get enough green beans for eating. Possibly enough to bottle a few pints. 

And peaches! The tree is not loaded, but it has plenty.  Maybe I'll be freezing instead of bottling. 

But today was my neighbor's apricots. 18 quarts and one cobbler. Cobbler is what's for dinner tonight.
