Typical Crop and Harvest Dates in Mississippi
These are the TYPICAL, historical dates that crops are ready to be picked or harvested in Mississippi. Of course, this is a big state with a wide range of climates, from the Gulf to the mountains, so it is not possible to provide absolute list for the whole state. In general, the southern part of the state starts and finishes each crop a few weeks ahead of the northern parts. Plus the seasons vary a little bit every year, depending upon the weather and other conditions, so call a few weeks ahead of the start date!

Home Canning KitsThis 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'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here! Average Customer Review:
