weck jar giveaway and harvest-saving tips, plus my attachment to my 'tip bag'
|
|
The harvest is finally accelerating, which got me thinking about a tool that's as critical to success right about now as my mower and spade: the perfect canning jar. One morning this week, over a cup of tea on Skype with my friend Gayla Trail a.k.a. You Grow Girl, we ended up having an entire conversation about them, in fact. Bottom line: neither of us knows how we could live without them! The conversation prompted my latest radio podcast and blog post -- and a Weck jar giveaway. Get preserving tips, and a chance to win a set.
 my attachment to my trusty tip bag
Speaking of tools...Like Linus with his blanket, I drag it behind me wherever I go. It's my trusty tip bag, a debris-collecting tool I never thought I'd take a fancy to, having been a bushel-basket or wheelbarrow type for years. But bushel baskets got harder to score, and there are some spots in my lopsided garden where the wheelbarrow won't do. So drag a bag I do, when I am doing things like this.
don't forget: win the moth field guide!
There's still time win a field guide to moths that I rely on daily here in summer, and to learn about the colorful, fascinating lichen moths
