Last week, my daughter took her two younger boys and me to go strawberry picking. We landed at Spencer Farms in Noblesville, Indiana. These folks have grown strawberries and raspberries since 1982. They have lots of pie making produce in their farm store, fresh and frozen.
Peaches are in all over Billings. A local hardware store advertised fruits and vegetables in bulk this weekend for canning, just in time for those who don’t plant gardens or to supplement garden bounty that perhaps wasn’t as bountiful as they’d hoped. Oh, by the way, this hardware store sells canning supplies of all types and sizes. Even late into the season. Last year when I needed to can pepper jelly in October using a bucketful of jalapenos from my garden, other outlets replaced their canning stock with Christmas decorations. But my trusty hardware store had everything I needed.
