Drum Roll Please.

I went down stairs to put away the apples this morning and counted how many bottles I put up this year.
43 Peaches
15 Apricot
28 Pear
27 tomato
29 Apples
5 chicken.

I would have liked to do twice as many tomatoes, but they didn't do as well as I had hoped. Next year. I am already excited to put our garden in for next year.

That is awesome! I can't even imagine accomplishing all that. What kind of apples do you do?

I love the Johnathan for sauce.
I got some from Tracy that were a jonagold I think, a little softer, but good flavor. My favorite is the acane apple. very few people grow them. They were enginered for apple sauce, bright white meat, and a small core, so very little gets wasted, and a nice tart crisp bite. Trent's GMPA is was the only one I knew of that had a tree of that variety, until I went to the farmers market in Murray, but the farmer that had them was selling them for 30$ a half bushel. That's a pricey apple. I just want my own tree, or 2 or 3.
