How did it perform?
It works ok, not as good as I hoped. I have trees all around me. It's only up 25' . I think I will raise it up to 40"
How did it perform?
We got our first real rain since back in May today. It rain all day yesterday night, today and should go on for another 2 days....hoooray. We are still canning tomatos, pickles and getting the first leeks. Daughter, grandaughter and Son-in-law are here till Wed. and then we are alone again till middle of Sep. when my oldest friend and his wife, daughter and friend are coming for 10 days in the off-season.Looks like more rain and storms today.
You can store them in a cool dark dry area & not have to can them.I'm going to can poatoes for the first time. Have you seen the prices?
I use sharpies too.A generac generator is on my list...
I started moving things around and getting rid of crap too, that I or we don't need to free up space to make more stock room. Had electricians come out and run electric to out building I have and put in a light and switch and some plug ins a few months ago. Got handy man to cut out and frame a spot and put in a window air unit. I'm using it for canned good storage. Need more shelving. Larry's nephew was here several weeks ago and asked me if that was my "She shed" with the tacky air unit sticking out like a sore thumb..I told him yes, no men allowed!
I ended up with 14 8 Oz. jars of grape jelly I made today. Kind of odd amount but that's the way it worked out with the amount of grapes I gathered. Not a huge amount but I'll take it.
You can tell I'm not too fancy! I slapped a date on the lids with a sharpie! If I get any more grapes this year, I'll put a nice label on the jars and give in a few Xmas gift baskets.
*sigh*
That's about 4 times what I paid for hard red winter wheat last time I bought it. If only I knew then what I know now...
