So last year, Andy and I planted our first garden. It did ok, and we learned a bunch of things. We ended up giving away quite a bit of produce last year. Last year I wanted to try to do some canning, but never really was able to do it, because I didn't know how, and I also felt I didn't have time to.
So this year, I planted
*less tomatoes
*more beans
*same cucumbers
*corn
*dill
all in anticipation that I was really going to try preserving some things this year. Canning is something that my Mom and Grandmas both did and something that I have always wanted to do.
Raspberry Jam
Garlic Dill Pickles
Spiced Peach Jam
Frozen Peaches
I also did some canned peaches as well, but didn't take photos of them.
I feel like I am doing great so far! It is so rewarding for me to know that my family is still going to be eating food that we have grown in our garden this winter.
