[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 592798, member: 84"] OMG Jody! I'm soooooooooooo excited for you! I know how much having your own dirt meant to you. :) Canning really is NOT that hard........actually, it's not hard at all. Work? Depends on what you're canning. Tomatoes are to some degree as you have the whole blanch/peel step as are peaches.......but in my opinion it is worth it. Those peaches are pure HEAVEN to eat. Tomatoes too of course.......but I'm nuts for peaches. Meat has to be pressure canned unless you want it to take all day. But I swear there are instructions to can just about anything you can think of online......and there is the Ball canning book too. I thought dehydrating was going to be hard. Nope. Granted I have both an electric dehydrator and a non electric one......and I tried a sort of hard thing first (potatoes) but my 2nd batch turned out great. Next investment will be a vaccum sealer. easy child has one I can borrow.......but I think I'd be using it all the time. lol My flower gardens are being transformed into herb gardens. Nichole is getting me a fire pit for my birthday. Yay! (now I will have something to do with all those branches I keep bundling) IC we had that wonky weird weather last year. I swear we went from winter to summer.......wham! No real spring whatsoever. It stunk and did not help the garden very much either. The garden is now half prepared. I'm getting there.......slowly but surely. [/QUOTE]
