Another interesting year...so few canning lids available anywhere, prices going up so quickly (canned coconut milk went from $1.50/can to $2.39/can in one jump), continued challenges due to COVID (couldn't get a pig from Ibelings because Sorgs wouldn't butcher the fair pigs), and kids eating more and more, along with continued diet changes, mean we are working hard to grow food and put it up, but we are also spending much more than we ever have before.

Planted about 240 cloves of garlic after harvesting about 231 bulbs. Bought a beef from Wundrows, bought tons of squash (butternut, acorn and such) from stand by Whitewater Lake beach, got a TON of red peppers from Amanda (CM mom), as well as some long neck zucchini and pie pumpkins. Raised a TON of chickens all at once and didn't get a pig yet, as freezers are full. We are set for winter :)
