I'll be surprised if I get any butternut squash. They used to be my no-fail crop. Not for the last two seasons. This will be the third, and maybe the last time, I try if they skunk me again.Tiny pie pumpkins and acorn squash, too.
I'm bummed about the pie pumpkins and squash. They are a favorite. Every year I make savory, stuffed pumpkin and squash for the family. It's a tradition. I'll have to buy the produce, this year. ::sigh::I'll be surprised if I get any butternut squash. They used to be my no-fail crop. Not for the last two seasons.

I have enough tomatoes on my table to can tomorrow. And I need to pick beans and freeze them. I saw little tiny beans, and then BOOM! They all got big! We had some grilled with dinner tonight.

I have a glass top stove. It's probably 10 yrs old or so but a good brand. I checked on the manufacturer's website to ensure canning wouldn't break the glass. Most manufacturers will speak to this in some fashion.I'm only 24 pages into this thread and I know this question is quite old so I don't know if anyone ever answered, but essentially a glass top stove can vacuum seal to the bottom of the pot and shatter the glass. You can use certain pots I believe but they have to have specific bottoms so that they don't create a seal. And I believe in some cases the heat transfer isn't effective enough to properly heat the jars, but it's been a very long time since I researched that, so I don't know if that's accurate.
I certainly will! Thank you!Check into Tromboncino squash.
I know this was not directed at me, just thought I would share what I use. I use this tool, got it at Lehman's but I'm sure lots of other stores carry it. And yes, it's dirty because I did another ten cups of corn todayHow do you get the corn off the cob?
I tried to cut it off. Had a lot of waste and mess. Most of the time, it cut the kernels in half so I lost half. It's hard to judge how "deep" to cut
Looking for a better way to do it.
I just cut it off, there is some waste, but I feed my cobs to my mulefoot hogs so it's like saving on the feed bill. The chickens probably would have taken it too though.How do you get the corn off the cob?
