Harvest Calendar / Typical Crop Ripening Dates for Australia
Please note that actual dates of various fruit may vary by as much as 6 weeks
due to weather conditions, geographical location of the farm, and other factors.
Australia's a big country, with considerable variation in climate. It is always
advisable to call a farm earlier than the expected beginning of a season to verify on the status of the fruit you are interested in.

Home Canning Kits
See the seller's website for more information, features, pricing and user reviews!
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to
make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts
for years: the canner, jar rack, Jar grabber
tongs, lid lifting wand, a
plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball
Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You will never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)!
There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a Pressure Canner
, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here
!
Lids, Rings, Jars, mixes, pectin, etc.
Need lids, rings and replacement jars? Or pectin to make jam, spaghetti sauce or salsa mix or pickle mixes? Get them all here, and usually at lower prices than your local store!
