One drawback at the present is the availability of canning jars.
They are simply not to be had for love or money.
Canning supplies everywhere have been nuked.
I’m so glad I had the presence of mind to stock up on lids and jars, in spite of mr. mm’s constant objections of *Do we really NEED more jars?* (and this from the family packrat and hoarder.) How ironic.
There were canning jars at a yard sale I was at, this morning. Everything was really cheap, even by yard sale standards* — maybe I should have nabbed them. But, storage space is already a big problem for us... :-(
*I nabbed a compact 1500 watt oil filled heater in great shape; about $50 (at least!) worth of extension cords, a trouble light / extension, and rope, also in good shape; a smaller heater fan in good shape (does need to be cleaned); 5 large storage totes in good shape (will help with storage a bit?); 2x dual compartment 1/4” clear acrylic (or possibly Lexan - not sure) storage units that will make great dual nest boxes (might have to spray paint the outsides - not sure hens will like “no privacy”); and a few misc. small items... all for $11...
