But not too bad. I haven't done any weed pulling yet. But I might later. It did warm up some this afternoon. I did pull enough cabbage to start 3 quart jars of sauerkraut. It will work for about 2 weeks and then I will divide it into 8 or 9 pint jars to can. Hopefully it stays good this year. I had to throw out what I tried making last year. Lunch was good. They did hot dogs and brats. Those always taste good. Hope you had a good day.

What a shame you had to throw the sauerkraut last year. I hope it stays good.

I think I know what I did wrong last year. I worked the salt directly into the cabbage first this year. Last year I just mixed it with the water

@wolfgirl569 That was what I was told to do but I have never tried it yet. You get so much done.

@wolfgirl569 - I imagine the water spoiled the cabbage.

It is 97 here. I used to make a kraut and short rib dish the family enjoyed.

It was a nice drive today, not too hot and just a couple of places of light rain.

Maybe you should make something besides sauerkraut? I don't like sauerkraut... I do like browning ground beef and ground pork, cutting up cabbage and onions and pouring the ground meats over the cut up cabbage and onions and then heating the pot it's in until it all looks done... I freeze that in Ziploc Freezer bags and store it for up to 9 months. It was an okay day here. I kept falling asleep and Pretty kept waking me up.

@wolfgirl569 She won't eat cabbage at all, just like broccoli. You'd have fun trying to feed her. She just wants rice, quinoa and spicy hot foods that I can't eat...

Good luck with the sauerkraut. It's disappointing when stuff goes off.

Your canning season starts early. I only can tomatoes, and the variety that I prefer isn't ripe until early September.

It was pretty cool out this way too. 60 for a high. My mom made sauerkraut one year and did something wrong. She started it at the cabin and then we went home for a week. When we came back, you couldn't even go into the cabin. It was horrible. Unfortunately, I was the youngest of 4 boys and had to go dump it in a hole. The brothers dug the hole and I had to carry the crock and it's gosh awful contents and dump it in with some barf. Took it down to the lake to clean it out. It was a long time before I ate any sauerkraut. I love it today, especially on brats but I did not love it for 20 years.

It can smell very nasty. Sorry you had to carry it out. I do it in jars now so I don't always lose it all.
