    Avacodos...what to do with them?

    Freezing would be about the only way to preserve them, and even then probably not for more than about 6 months.

    Canning jars question

    @Tuco, just be sure to check carefully for cracks or chips, those shouldn't be used for canning, but are fine for dry goods.

    Growing vegetables in containers/bags

    I'm only able to do containers for now, so look forward to watching this progress. I tried both potatoes and sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes did okay considering I did them late, and that the experts say it isn't warm enough here for them to grow. :tongue
