Often blogs writers make it sound like it all happens on its own, and to some extent it does, just not the work keeping the soil in good shape, the hoeing & raking etc..all before the canning and preserving starts. But, in saying that there is nothing better than seeing all those jars lined up unless it's a cold winter supper which you've provided from your own labor!Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-83591704486534311472012-07-28T07:32:04.672-06:002012-07-28T07:32:04.672-06:00Gail,

It's a real concern. I didn't really realize that you would be affected over there but now that you mention it, I suppose it does make sense. All the more reason to grow everything we can while we can.<br />Thanks for stopping by today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-78481350920190414132012-07-28T07:23:55.953-06:002012-07-28T07:23:55.953-06:00Aren't filled jars just the prettiest things i...Aren't filled jars just the prettiest things in the world? I just love how they look! I've had problems this summer with my propane burner not giving out enough BTU's so it's taken me much longer to get the canning done each batch. It's been a bit frustrating but where there is a will there is a way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-20376841450347142232012-07-28T07:19:06.946-06:002012-07-28T07:19:06.946-06:00Jim, you always know just the right thing to say t...Jim, you always know just the right thing to say to make me smile!

As this is just the first "real" year for this garden, I know things will get better. I'm looking forward to good soil in a couple or three more years.... Now that should be fun! <br />Maybe we should all start working harder on those garden journals!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-59391321370519793332012-07-28T07:07:46.182-06:002012-07-28T07:07:46.182-06:00Rose, I'm with you 100%.

We are in winter over here, but it's so mild. Beautiful sunny days and cooler evenings. I feel things are going to get tougher soon. On our news last night they said Australian food prices would go up 5% because of the drought in the US. They are also predicting a hot dry summer for us as well. I hope you get a chance to put your feet up a bit, now that things have slowed in the garden.<br />Blessings Gailgailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474172270399240621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-43311471591697506492012-07-27T19:32:10.320-06:002012-07-27T19:32:10.320-06:00It is a nice feeling when things get done and your...It is a nice feeling when things get done and your pantry is full. I have had so much fun this year canning. Now I am thinking of doing vegetable soup and beans. For those nights when I can't think of what to fix. I am glad you have had so much fun. It is hard to explain to people sometimes how much fun it is looking at all of your hard work in jars. :)Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-38769258665286227722012-07-27T10:06:32.837-06:002012-07-27T10:06:32.837-06:00Nothing like finding the time to really enjoy the ...Nothing like finding the time to really enjoy the fruits of your labor!<br /><br />Guess it's true that the Lord helps those that help themselves!

No wonder you are a bit tired! What a great learning experience for you. We have our garden on a drip system, too, but it seems I still need to hand water a few plants now and then as we tweak our system. Every year gets better (and easier) and our hope for the next season is running high. I still need to seed late peas, swisschard, lettuce and carrots tomorrow. Like Rose, I need to keep a garden journal, too. I have a friend that keeps hers as a blog - it is a great way to do it because you can add pictures, too. We never remember things like we should, so it would really help us here! It is on the "to do" list, which is very long!2 Trampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721390235821161265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-31314905073275862312012-07-27T07:02:28.800-06:002012-07-27T07:02:28.800-06:00It's the best when you've done it yourself...It's the best when you've done it yourself. I have learned that just because one veggie did great one year, does not mean that it will be the same the following year. One thing I need to do is keep a garden journal.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924988248364848607noreply@blogger.com
