I see jams and jellies selling for $5 to $7 a pint and I'm getting
interested.


Are they being purchased at that price or just being offered at that
price? Just curious ‹ I know people who are willing to pay dang near
anything just for homemade quality. Sugar prices bite right now.

Tomorrow I will put up a few pints of pickled b**ts mit onions and
probably more next week. We ate the beet greens tonight with our roast
beef and black eyed peas. Had some raw carrots out of the garden for
beginners. Tilly Dawg, unlike Sleepy Dawg, has decided carrots are for
rabbits. Ol' Sleepy would beg for them, Tilly just spits them out.
Spoiled little thing!


Are you three finally getting used to each other?
