Dang, you guys up there use metric canning jars  :huh?. Do they use the same lids as ours?

Yes, same lids. Those are old pasta bottles we've saved over the years instead of buying.  They are ~1.5 pints roughly. Our litre here is a little bigger than your quart. We often get stuff with weird amounts instead of 1/4'ers or 1/2's. Like 946 ml instead of 950 ml or 1 litre. That indicates a US product or US bottle. Same with your a pint, it's short of few ml. We can buy full 500 ml jars, we just call them pints.  ffsmiley Also, an imperial pint is 20% bigger than a US pint. Everybody has to be different. It's the same way with spinning and plying yarn, the count and ply are reversed up here.  8/2 cotton is US, 2/8 is Canadian. Same yarn. The Bernardin canning book is a mix of metric and US measures.

My garden has turned out ok this year, 2- 4*8 raised beds and a couple small containers. I'm amazed at how much I can grow in a small space. I've grown:
Radishes, carrots, lettuce x 3 varieties, tomato x 3 varieties, bell pepper, jalapeno, poblano, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumber, dill, basil, red onion, green onion, sugar snap peas, garlic, winter squash, kohlrabi, spinach, and experimenting with eggplant, and marigolds. 

I've canned 12 quarts of pickles with a quick mix, 2 more quarts of refrigerator pickles, and I'm working on a few quarts of fermented pickles now. The bell peppers and jalapeno aren't very big this year, wet cool spring. Tomatoes are finally getting ripe.

Got any black buckets for the peppers? Or any way to lay down black plastic?

This year's squash harvest off of my small patch. We picked and cooked 3 others the size of them at the top round of the wheel barrow. We made a couple pies to.  They's dry squash when cooked up to, you almost need a lb of good butter on them. ffsmiley



And the grand champion of the bunch this year is...  ffcool

This is the 2nd watermelon from the garden.  I had given it to a friend yesterday and asked him to send me a picture of the inside when he got home.   He said it was sweet and full of water.   The first one we had last week was pink on the inside and some sweetness but not ready.  It broke off the vine while I was inspecting the underside so had no choice but to try.
Cold nights are going to slow growth on the rest of them.  Hope to get a few more before frost.

We sure enjoyed this years cantaloupe.  ffsmiley

Nice crop of beans. We eat baking beans (we bake soldier or yellow eye). A friend just gave us big bag of soldier beans for this winter. Saturday noon dinner with biscuit or corn bread.  :thumbsup:
