I live in Ky. zone 6 . I am wanting to grow some herbs for drying and I also found that you can harvest your herbs , chop them up and put them in ice cube trays , pour boiling water on them and freeze them for use later as fresh herbs. I can't wait to get my garden growing. Thanks for the info...

Mine has done that the last few times I made turkey broth. I usually try and take em out real fast because I am excited to see em. I have now started to wait and leave em in the canner for a bit and then take the lid off sometimes they do that when I just take the lid off, if they do I let them...

Thank You! We really love it! We are working on being totally self sufficient. We are building a little cabin back in our holler away from noise and will be generating our own electricity and practically living off the land. I am so excited! It certainly does take a partner of the same likes to...
