A visual is so helpful and encouraging, something to let me know I'm getting it right.

I would love to be able to can and jar my own vegetables one day. My grandfather used to do this a lot when I was kid visiting his house in Ohio every summer. It was fun helping him harvest his 1/2 acre garden. Lots of work though.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753509148757883091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-17268819592804819032007-11-28T16:50:00.000-06:002007-11-28T16:50:00.000-06:00Man, I sure missed the canning boat this year!

BTW, I think $79.99 is pretty good for a new pressure canner w/acessories. I had priced them because my mom's is older than me (I'm 45!), so it scares me just a little. But thanks for that tip about the extension office testing them...never knew that!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-65308146302066544462007-11-28T10:30:00.000-06:002007-11-28T10:30:00.000-06:00Just and FYI for you holiday shopping homesteaders...Just and FYI for you holiday shopping homesteaders and backyard gardeners, Cookware.com has a 12 piece pressure canning set on sale for more than 1/2 off.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if $79.99 is a good deal, as my caner was inherited, but it looks pretty spiffy to me.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I find that a really useful garden/harvest tool is a wheelbarrow. Saves my back something fierce.Rebecca Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757078524699737539noreply@blogger.com
