End of Season?
Well today it's over 100 outside and no AC so what have I been doing all day, I've been canning !!! Pickled Beets, Pickled Red Cabbage and pickles. My house of course smells like vinegar and it's hot. I really have no choice on when to can and I no longer do very large batches, just enough for myself and to make up a few baskets for gifts. So far I have frozen or canned four different jams, beans, corn, basil, salsa, pasta sauce,and pie fillings. I have canned all my life and even though I am alone now I can't resist the wonderful taste of my own vegetables and fruit in the winter or anytime for that matter. There is nothing better and I know exactly what is in it. Happy Gardening Diane

Tracey, No I do not have AC, very few people here do but this has been an unusual year for heat in Oregon. With lots of Californians moving to Oregon most new homes do have AC now. Get the Ball book on canning and give it a try, it's really quite easy but a bit time consuming. Give it a try I am sure you would have fun.
