    Default Jamming

    After culling and cleaning I have another 1.5 lbs of berries in the freezer. I now have enough to make a batch of jam tomorrow so I'm off to check on my supplies to make sure I have everything I need on hand.

    I sure don't want to get started only to find I don't have enough pectin, sugar, jars etc.

    I probably should post this elsewhere but here's what my little strawberry patch allowed me to make---5 pints of jam to share with family and friends.

    I picked another pound of berries today so I have 1.5 lbs in the freezer and if the patch keeps producing like has been I'm thinking about trying to make some strawberry syurp for pancakes and waffles.

    By the way, I'm not cheap but I am frugal so when I pick ripe berries I pick and use Every ripe berry

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Thank you!

    Ordered some 12 oz bottles to see if I can make and preserve Strawberry Syrup today. They should work in a water bath canner as the seals are made of the same material as Ball Lids and the lids are metal. I also watched a video that showed that while a straight edge layed across the top when first brought out of the water bath there wasn't any light but after several hours you could see daylight so that would indicate that there was a vacuum created when the syrup was cooling.

    The last couple of years I've found that my 'Ever bearing' plants peter out for awhile but then come back like gang busters. However I've been on my Harley rides when they do and my son doesn't bother with picking them (the same with my Roma Tomatoes) but this year I should be here and able to put up a lot more of both the strawberries and the tomatoes.

    Welllllll

    I finally have Corn in "Glen's Half Acre"

    One of my friends up here had it growing in the greenhouse at the High School, tells me "Glen please take it nobody else is" so I planted 24 stalks to start in 4 staggered rows of 6
    I ran the sprinkler to see what pattern I had and I am filling it in, I might pick up 24 more today..

    They are already past knee high so I stand at least a good chance this year

    How many day corn is it?

    In my opinion in a small plot plant it in a square not a row so no matter how the wind blows it pollinate.
