August is a busy time of the year with most items running at full steam.  With the recent rains we have hardly had to irrigate, but that is changing today as we are starting up three pivots.  Yields have been running well and quality is excellent.  As we get into our main seasonal items it always reminds me of Grandma as she started the canning and freezing season for those long winter days.  Now is the time to begin this activity so one doesn’t become overwhelmed by the process.  Pick an item once a week and get’er done.
