I learned how to can from my mom, too.
My garden did OK last year. Some stuff was fine but the usual stuff wasn’t. I didn’t even try tomatoes, and it turned out to be a good thing because it was so wet, I’d have lost the whole crop to blight.
I’ve also started pressure canning meat and some veggies. I just canned up some of my potatoes from last year to save them. Otherwise, we would not have eaten them fast enough to use them before they all spoiled.
The best thing is the herb garden. No knowing what
s in the store bought stuff. it takes a lot of work to harvest and dry herbs and make sure you’re not adding weeds to the mix.
I’m getting my garden in very early this year and keeping a good eye on the weather. We had an unexpected frost last night only because the forecast was not for so low, so tonight I’m ready. But getting the onions, lettuce, and potatoes in this early is a HUGE head start for me.
110 heat index and no rain, the smart meter tattled we had a leak when I watered. Then bugs goy my beans, then it poured 5 days straight. That is typical of the Memphis area climate. Of course, the news tried to spin it as climate change. I’ve lived in the area for 50 years.
What no one is getting is an infant can’t consume the same level of heavy metals as their parents can. A 200 lb 6’4” man is not going to be affected.
You calculate dosage based on weight. Autism is one of the issues for these parents.
