Conserve and Preserve Strawberries Guide
Strawberries kept without sugar stay fresh for two to three months. Pick fully colored, plant ripened berries. choose medium sized, mold free fruit. Wash, stem, trim bruised parts. slice or leave whole. Sliced berries absorb sugar better. Use three pounds fruit to one pound sugar, mix before packing. During sugar shortages four to five parts berries per part sugar. Corn syrup can substitute up to one fourth.
Tomato Pruning in Iowa Garden Practices
Prune only part of tomato plants to balance early fruit and total yield. Training to a single stem yields earlier larger fruits but reduces overall production. Prune some plants for table use and leave others for canning. Break off side shoots as the plant grows, as they arise at leaf joints during warm weather.
