Pretty self-explanatory challenge for August-CANNING!
1. If you don't can: CAN! It is easier than you think! Start with a simple jam, or just go with what your stomach wants! I have great plans for my August canning, and am hoping to fill my shelves and give some to friends too!
2. If you do can: Add to your list. If you already make jam, make some pickles; make a salsa; can some cherries! Then when winter makes you want to scratch your own eyes out every time you look out the window and all you see is WHITE-then these summery fruit flavours will be there, beckoning you, reminding you that delicious things will be back...in a few months.
So DO IT! And when all your friends are impressed by your Little House on the Prairie pantry...I told you so.
I'm lucky to be able to grow lots and lots of tomatoes. So, my goal this year is to can enough whole tomatoes, sauces and paste for the rest of the year. There is nothing better than your own tomatoes in the winter!

That is a great plan! Home grown tomatoes have the best flavour!
