Paul, we earned a banner year for not giving up after the dismal production of two years prior! Very nice haul. Should be another bumper crop after this weekend. Get your canning jars ready. Lisa (just above 'n Omaha)

Hearty congratulations to you. Paul. Looks like a fantastic haul. Are these in-ground or raised bed plants? What did you do differently this year versus previous years?

All are in-ground plants and what I did was make it rain at the right time and moderated the temperatures from last year. Choosing the right varieties helped, too. Just the luck of the draw mostly.
