pressure canning is the method being pushed now....TPTB also now are recommending extra time for doing canning in the traditional water bath method...

also, with tomatoes, the big seed companies have made them to be not so acidic as they were many yrs ago, so when you do can them, add some extra lemon juice to each jar....

as for my garden, the tomatoes in the containers are doing better than the ones in the ground.....my seeds came up poorly this year so I had to supplement with some seedingls for squash, zukes, etc....

peppers don't look so well...probably should have waited to get them in the ground....

after learning about seed tapes here on the garden thread, I'm happy to report I'll actually have radishes this year, and also beets....

once I pull my garlic, I'll do seed tapes for carrots....
