Day 172 of 365

Started out sunny, then clouds. Right before chore time it began to rain. The rain was cold with hail.

• Low: 67° F
• High: 89° F

Rainfall: 1.6"

Harvested:

• tomatoes
• cucumbers
• strawberries
• dill
• horseradish
• Swiss chard

Preserved:

• Dill pickles, 10 pints. "Fresh Pack Dill Pickle" recipe from The Practical Produce Cookbook page 91. Used homegrown cukes, dill, and garlic.
• Swiss chard, dehydrated.

I'm getting enough strawberries to top cereal every other day or so. The critters have been leaving them alone now too, no more pecks and bites.
