Good deal on the pots. We’ll be working on putting up persimmons and nuts for a while, as well as planting the wheat. Then we get a break. That’s when I try to buy large amounts of meats on sale and can them for the pantry. Good for eating out of the can or quick meals.
Even quicker using a thermos.LOL
It won’t be long till dreams of garden plans and visions of produce dance in my little head-then out comes the diagrams of the plots and past year’s plantings.LOL
I have not had the courage to attempt canning as of yet, - especially meat - although I did obtain the proper equipment. I’m hoping I can hook up with some ladies I know and see if they would walk me through some basics.
I’ll be happy if I can just fire up the dehydrator and get that going!
I did experiment with one of the cucs before the fridge died. I had lots of room in one of my favorite brand of pickles jars, and just sliced it into wedges and added it to the pickles in the jar. After a few days, I had one, and it was wonderful! (This is the kind of pickle that is refrigerable even before it is opened.)
I’m glad I did that, cause that’s all that is left of my cuc harvest. The others remain frozen in my hydrator. Haven’t tossed them, hoping that when I get the hydrator going I can dry them. But they might be too damaged. I don’t know. My store boughten yellow and zucchini froze too.
