Quick note - update from end of last weekend & backhoe delivery arranged
Busy with work, but I wanted to get this note in before I forgot the details!
Katherine canned 13 cups (half-pints - lol) of thick tomato sauce Saturday (?) and I added another 7 pints (plus 1 C - half-pint) a day later. Tomatoes are going bad fast - most are going bad without ripening! :(
Katherine has some ideas for tomato pickles and tomato relish. I hope we have time before too many are lost to spoilage!
I texted Seth Fenby yesterday and arranged for the backhoe to be delivered this week. I got a call from the hauler yesterday who got directions to our farm. He said he hoped to get it delivered today (Wednesday!) I was hoping to be there for delivery, but this will do - I just hope its in good shape and there aren't any delivery issues! I am considering going up tonight and working from the farm tomorrow! Very excited!
