There is a carryover from last year on the canning shelf m the base ment My husband has something to keep him busy too His elder berries have a heavy crop this year We have not had any orders for this year’s crop and so he has been removing the tiny berries from the stems and I freeze them. Someday I’ll make jelly but as for now, he will have to be satisfied with an elderber ry-apple pie. The last planting of green beans is giving a nice crop but some beans in another garden were almost completely eaten by groundhogs. This year my hus band’s electric fence did not keep the raccoons from eating most of our sweet corn. There must have been an army of them as they really flattened everything So, as we sit and peel Bartlett pears to can, we can contem plate having an ample supply of food this winter Triple H Equipment Peach Bottom PA • 717/548 3775 Umbergers of Fontana Lebanon PA* 717/867 5161 Wettemyer’t Sale* A Service, Inc Red Lion PA* 717/244-4168 Zimmerman Farm Service Bethel PA* 717/933-4114
