I'm back and it's Autumn!


I think our pumpkin display looks "sincere"! So I'm expecting the great pumpkin to come on Halloween! Linus too! And Sally!! I love that Charlie Brown holiday special!  The three pumpkin vines did well this season, we got approx. 70 pumpkins.
I've been very busy with canning and it all started with that June post and just snowballed.
1. Strawberry Jam
2. Mulberry Jam and syrup
3. Strawberry rhubarb jam
4. Yellow tomato salsa and red tomato salsa
5. Canned tomatoes and juice
6. Concord grape jam
7. Pickled okra
8. Apple pie filling, applesauce, apple butter, spiced apple jelly
9. Green tomato jam
and lastly some pear honey as soon as the pears ripen!
  I'm ready to put the canner back in the basement and enjoy the fruits of my many labors!!
