We've been canning so much around here that our water bath canner sprang a small leak. Had hubby take it and add a small screw but that didn't work either. Now we must go and buy a new one.

I did not have enough corn to even try to process.... We ate it as fast as we could pick it.
I am going to try a fall planting of corn in a couple of weeks. I have the bed prepared and tested it today.

I may have a problem, but I'm...
I am also having storage issues this year. up under our bar is full. my pantry is full, our extra closet is almost full. I need to can up some more but I am running out of places to store it. What do you do when you run into this problem?

You do not have to let your garden rest a year every seven years.
You should because if you don't you will use up all the nutrients in the ground and then you will have nothing. We are going to plant clover and then use the poop from the coop and spread it ove rhte garden during the...

Very nice looking green beans KenK......I am getting up a stockpile before I start to can them. I love mixing green and wax beans together, they are so pretty.
