I don't think I've seen anybody on here for several days... Is everybody out in the garden or gone on vacation?  My garden is producing a few green beans and some squash... but that's all.  We don't seem to have any bees!!!  I just simply cannot pollinate those blossoms with a paintbrush!  Lol... I'll probably end up buying vegetables from the farmer's market if I plan to can any and I sure would like to can as many as I can get... We're still in a severe drought and can't water!  Are any of you in the flood areas down the middle of our country?  What about the fires in California?  What is this world coming to?
