Don't know about everyone else but I've been out watering like mad as we are going to get heat struck again soon! Gotta do more tomorrow. Big ole frog sitting under my dripping water faucet.

So far today I picked up a bunch of tomatoes, onions and herbs from the garden, cooked it into tomato sauce Image and canned my very first jars
Very long process but hey if it comes out good it was all worth it and I'm happy!Image
Tomorrow I plan on going in the garden and pick all bunch of different veggies so I can make vegetable soup and can that too

I'm just starting out with this canning thingy, anyone on here preserves their own food?

yeppa! Don't like battling crowds and once fall hits, you KNOW the place will be a zoo....

Easy to walk around and enjoy the various trinkets et al. Twas cloudy out, so indoors was just right.

How much room/space/jars have you provided for, esp come the fall harvest? LONG long ago, my mom canned stuff. Pretty good idea if any of the 'food shortage' rumors start coming true!!

Farmer Gemma; yep, aren't we lucky the Annex has an expert, ol lil queenie??? @j.w

Yep we need a royal farmer here at the kingdom for sure! I'm sure @Gemma did a taste test before she canned up all those batches of sauce and soup.

I see the kingy boy and his better half are committing sacrilegious acts of participating in out of season Christmas shopping.
This will be noted on your report cards and fines will be deducted from your already dwindling pay checks for all that you don't get done anyways :lol:

If for "room" you mean where am I going to keep the jars, I have room in the basement...not sure how many boxes of jars, I suppose I could get more....food shortage? Bad, yes, but not as bad as no heat Image
