    My garden is growing like weeds! I am going to can tomatoes, make salsa, and lots of green beans. I am going around to garage sales and finding canning jars and even found an old canning pressure cooker, it needs some work. I am so excited. I really need the BBB.
    PS I used to be good at doing nothing, now I have “retired” early and my work is never done. Go figure. :sun:

    I’d LOVE to win this book. I live in a large apt. complex and got the chance for a garden plot this year. I started a garden for the 1st time in over 15 years aside from container gardening on my porch.I’m on a fixed income and thought this would a great way to suppliment fresh food. I think this is going to be the world’s most expensive garden as I’ve had plants uprooted, some of them up to 4 times. It’ll be interesting to see what ends growing(& hopefully producing) aside from the plentiful weeds & rocks. Thank you for your posts

I don’t grow the raspberries, but they are in at a curb market nearby, so I bought some this morning and made jam. I may have to do it again next Saturday!!! Thanks, again, Suzanne!
