I did pickles the other day, ended up with 14 quarts and 1 pint of pickles. Mostly dills, but did one batch of sweet pickles. I have some jalapenos on the counter now, off to see how many I need to put can them. Green beans are starting to come in, so hopefully can put some up soon. Stupid horned worms are attacking my tomatoes like crazy, pulled almost 20 off my plants yesterday alone! It's maddening! Just hoping I can keep them down enough to get some tomatoes!

The number one gardening breakthough in my life was downsizing. Now, there are just the two of us so bear that in mind.
I had a plot about 100 ft on a side for several years, due to increasing work pressure and drought and depredation by the deer I gave it up as a lost cause. I missed growing stuff so I came up with a scheme to make a little 20 ft square plot with corral panels to keep the deer out. It was truly amazing to me how much produce I could get out of such a tiny space. This year I doubled it to 20' by 40' just because I wanted to grow some corn which takes up a lot of space.

I'm not canning much yet - with our wacky winter weather, not much is producing yet. Still waiting on the peaches.
But I have a BBQ with a side burner, so that's what I use.

We have a window AC in the house and our house is tiny so it cools the entire house. I just hate the light bill with the AC and Stove going all day!
This last month it was over $100
the month before it was $65...

I put up one pint and one small jelly sized jar of jalapeno slices last night. I think green beans might be next for us.
