Beans and okra are popping up now and so are the potatoes. I am so ready for canning season which is right around the corner.

I am going to try and get a pattern cut out today. May even be able to get one made lol. Just wondering what hubby will think of the idea :D i guess when I tell him that this will save him lots of money each year he will be happy with it, I hope :P

I noticed this morning that our Heirloom Tomato seeds are popping through and also our Zuchinni seeds are popping up. I am so ready for this canning season.....well I still have to get my canning seal :gig

I, so, have to learn how to make these. BubblingBrook.....I sent you a PM :) This would save us so much $$$. We spend close to $20 to $25 a month on disposibles.

Yes.....Welcome :frow

Well, salt is still good for seasoning :) Then again.....I love the taste of real fresh veggies & meats without spices

I love canning our fresh potatoes from our garden each year. We probably wind up with 200+ lbs. or more and I am in the kitchen for a week or 2 just canning potatoes, but I love it. Yes, I agree with smaller potatoes = mashed potatoes and bigger potatoes for salads.....and like you said they...

You get "Rear Smear"? :gig

Sorry that I have been gone so long, but I am sure glad to see that this thread is still going. WOW!! You all have a lot to chat about LOL Well, with canning season right around the corner.....I thought it would be fit to come on back over here to SS and see what everyone is up to. Glad to see...

I have always heard that a woman should not be in the garden during that time.....but I haven't heard of them not being able to can.

I'll take a few of the milk bottles. We get fresh milk from a friend and it would be great in glass jar.

Canned 7 pints of dilly beans. First time ever canning these and they smelled so good. Only setback is ..... We have to wait 2 weeks before we can eat them so the juices and spices can marry. Gonna pick more beans at 6 am in the morning

You put the wrong smiley up :drool I love reed taters, we have those planted here, oh....bout forgot :drool

I totally agree with you there. But if it were fed to me in a meal and I was told it was something different, I would probably eat it.

Also.....today I am canning Squash Relish.....alll you do different is use Squash instead of Zuchinni. I love the fact that I won't have these veggies going to waste, I hope to sell our extras :) Try it. :drool its yummy too
