Well just diced up the stuff to make pickle relish and it has to sit for 2 hours to cool etc so have a chance to be on the computer for a bit. Doing a double batch so if all goes well should yield about 7 pints
 
Canned 30 quarts of potatoes so far. Plan to do about 60 more. I should be in the shop now doing some, but it is to dang hot and humid.
Got the green beans canned 2 weeks ago and put up about 500 ears of sweet corn for us and our sons. Gonna plant my late garden as soon as it drys out enough to plow.

Here in Missouri you would not dare to plow right now. If the plow hit a rock you would start a fire that would burn who knows how many acres of land. We are close to being 10 inches behind on rain
 
We finally got 3 inches of rain in the last 10 days. We are also behind but things are looking better. My son's soybeans jumped after the rain and he is busy spraying. Grass has greened up and growing. KNOCK ON WOOD. I hope we keep getting rains along.
It really hurts to see the photos of dry and parched areas around the country.
I remember a year in the late sixties that we had rain in February and the next rain was in September. At least I have a very good well and can make the garden grow.

Wife is canning sweet corn as I type. Pretty sorry looking but good for canning. Canning jalapenos as they ripen and pickles also. Tomatoes are small so not canning them. Okra starting to produce.

Just as dry here in So. Ill as it is in Mo.

richard,.. those are some big chunks of taters, how long you cooking them,.. i put up some sliced taters, seem to come out all right
 
I boil them in a pot for 10 minutes and pack in hot jars. Pressure can at 11 pounds pressure for 40 minutes. Check the Presto canning manual for your elevation.
It takes a while but it is too hot to be doing much else. They sure are good in the winter as soup, just boiled, mashed, or fried in a little oil.
