Third of a jar
When I saw this caption, I couldn't help doing math:
--> 9 months until next season's vegetables (October to July)
--> 9 x 30 days = 270 days
--> 1000 jars / 270 days = 3.7 jars, or almost 4 jars a day
That seemed like a lot, but then I saw her family of ten in the next photo. She may not have enough.
