Hi Susan, I loved reading your blog on gardening. Here is the url for your home harvests. they have become emensly popular here. Here in Oregon we are into canning also. June found me making lots of Strawberry freezer jam. I am presently trying to stay ahead of my tomatoes for canning. I also am freezing green and purple beans. I like to cut them french bean style and use them in place of pasta for "spagetti" very tasty.

Hi Nancy -- we're just NOW starting to get tomatoes; check out the latest post under "Attack of the killer (prize-winning) tomatoes. But strawberries are coming on -- I just spent about 3 hours processing about $40 worth of marvelous berries. The giant ones don't do well here, but we get these little sweet ones with "necks" from an everbearing variety, and I just hull them, halve them and freeze them in pint jars with a tablespoon of sugar and the scantiest pinch of finely ground black pepper. Yes, black pepper.
