Oh Boy! I want this! Why? Because my grandma had one and I thought it was the grooviest thing on Earth...Showed Sam the picture and guess what: He wants it! So, if it hasn't sold by the end of the day, one of us will have it: hopefully Sam...I don't need more junk!
This is my purchase: canning jars! Some are pretty old and I'll use those for the dried stuff. Pretty good haul. I picked up some nice fencing too...looks like I'm closer to getting my goats.
Went out to the vine-seed field and picked about 20 lbs of squash and 20 squash blossoms. I'll grate and freeze most of the squash...slice and dry a couple and stuff and fry up the blossoms (that will be a first). I still have 1/2 a box of apples to sauce and dry, the Australian Butter squash is ready to store and or can and I have about 4 cups of figs ready for jam: mission and golden: should be good. I keep driving by the elderberries and should stop and pick more, just haven't done it yet. I would love to do more tomatoes, but our processing tomatoes are gone, I'll check out the Farmers Market on Monday. They're cutting corn and sunflowers and hope to get my hands on some for winter feed...we're harvesting melons for seed and I've loaded up on the males for the chickens to snack on...they just love the melons: so do the bees.
