Garden utopia

All the rain and mild weather has made the garden grow like wild. Cabbage,broccoli,onions squash, peppers,and carrots are in. The signs are right for making sour kraut June 4th and 5th so I'm trying to get supplies ready for the big event. For 38 years I have made kraut in several old churns handed down to me. This year I ordered a Harsch crock, made in Germany, the bonus of this expensive crock is kraut can be stored in there for several months if kept in a cool place and it does not have to be canned. Heat destroys the beneficial bacteria that kraut produces. Plus, my kids and I love to eat right out of the churn. I crave it, have since I was a child. Magi loves it with ranch dressing!
