Very long process but hey if it comes out good it was all worth it and I'm happy!
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?

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
