Americans turning to gardening during Covid crisis find themselves in a pickle when it comes to finding the right jars, seals and lids
It’s the time of year when gardeners are turning their ripe tomatoes into sauces and salsas and cucumbers into pickles. But a boom in gardening and preparing food at home during the coronavirus pandemic has led to a scarcity of supplies with which to preserve them.
