    There’s a sweet spot where they gain 30lbs a day. For me that starts in about 10 day if it stays warm and last 7 to 10 days.

    Two dry days with a hot dry wind and single digit-20% humidity, everything dried out so fast! :confused: Working on rehydrating, everybody got a soaking drink and now each 10" pot taking turns in a bucket of water.

    Some of the 2019 canning effort so far: black raspberry/strawberry jam; dill beans; cucumber pickles and okra pickles. Pickled beets are down in pantry.

    upload_2019-8-18_15-53-58.png

    Today's effort: Tomato sauce and sweet/hot beans.

    upload_2019-8-18_15-55-7.png

    Yesterday's "canning": 15 one lb propane bottles for deer camp at the off grid cabin, then the coming winter's spearing season. I fill these off a 30 pounder. (fall, then winter is right around the corner now!) The yearly cycle continues... :thumbs:
