This time of year can be a bit overwhelming! I went through my records to figure out what products sold last year and what products didn't do well. I have a list reminding me of how much produce and fruit I still need to fulfill this year's canning quota.
My garden has not produced as many tomatoes as I need for passata so I have had to find another source for Juliet tomatoes. Although I do have enough herbs and sources for shallots and garlic, so I don't grow those. My poor cucumbers and squash were attacked early on by squash bugs and cucumber beetles and I didn't get more than 3 zucchini and 5 tiny curled pickling cukes. Next year I need to apply Spinosad and BT earlier on the squashes , plus picking off squash bugs and removing eggs from the squash leaves. It is quite a bit of work....but I love having fresh zucchini to eat and make Zucchini relish, Zucchini Bread and Butter pickles and occasionally Lemon Ginger Zucchini Marmalade! Comments are closed.
