Sorry to hear about your currants. have 5 red currant bushes ( had 3, but the got in the way of a new fence I was putting up, so I cut 2 in half, and the cut half survived as their own separate plant). I've tried black currants, but they're not very good, so Ill be digging them up this year.
Not were I live....I'm not canning things, but I do make pickles. This year cucumbers are crazy. I put up two gallons for pickling, cost me $35. By the time you add hot peppers, I like to add, garlic and dill, it's over $40. Cheaper to buy ready made ones in the store.
what do you mean "1 cucumber makes me 2 jars"? Where are you located?Not were I live....
I have to buy cucumber, garlic & vinegar
1 cucumber makes me 2 jars
Cost about 2 dollar in total so 1 dollar per jar.
Cost in the shop is about 3 dollar per jar and at least I know what's in mine
I don't count coriander, black pepper, cumin etc as I got more in stock than I can finish in the coming year
How small is the jar? Separately. Never heard of pickling English Cucumbers. Have to try.
Thanks,
I live in the US in the midwest and have never lived in or traveled to Africa. I find it amazing with the internet and all I can 'talk' with you! Have you always lived in Zambia?Thanks,
I'm in Zambia though, it's north of South Africa, but part of Southern Africa
Are you permanently in Zambia and plan to retire there? What are your favorite parts of being there?No.
Born and raised in North Western Europe
That is a plan! I have the same one that goes, I have a house and land here, maybe I stay. Maybe I sell and go smaller, here or somewhere else.Dunno yet.
I got land here and a house, so maybe I stay.
Maybe I sell up and move elsewhere.
I'm not much of a planner
