For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
Okay, I bought a book on Preserving and Canning for Beginners, and I'm familiar with the Ball Blue book, and I also consult the National Center for Home Food Preservation online. Thanks for the feedback! I've been thinking about sour kraut, too, but I might be over extended this year, lol. Good luck with your fermented cabbage! (I made and canned do chua Vietnamese pickle to make banh mi Vietnamese subs; it's so easy! Carrot and daikon radish, I recommend it.)
Will check it out. Thanks!
