Thanks for the advice. This is my first time growing anything, so I just got veg garden soil from the store (tractor supply & lowes). Because I have back issues & balance issues, I have planted in buckets & a raised garden using the soil from the store.
That's great! I have an electric glass top stove so I can't can anything. Been wondering if I should get one of those food vacuum sealer bags & machines.
I have a vacuum packer and I like it. You can can on you electric glass top stove. Many things you preserve can be water bathed. Start by getting a good canning/preserving book. You can also open kettle can some things like tomato products. Get a ph tester to do so. Then you put the hot product in sterilized jars with lids and rings. I do some things in my pressure canner. I believe you can control the heat on your electric stove to do so.

It's a great way to grow. My brother in law just put all of his veg. in buckets. In the Fall I am going to teach him how to preserve it.
