I love canning! We always grew a huge garden when I was a kid and I would stay up all night helping my Mama with the canning and preparing the veggies. Now that I am in Florida I haven’t done much, but this summer we put in a raised garden and I am going to can some tomatoes first chance I get. We are setting up rain barrels too and everything is organic. Yummy! We are hoping our next property will have enough acreage to grow fruit trees - I would love to have a peach tree and some apple trees!! It is a great thing to get into and can save you so much too. And not to mention how great those veggies taste in the winter! Have fun!!
