The first was a coworker of my husband’s who suddenly saw the light on where the economy was going and what he would have to do to prepare for the worst of times, and another was by accidental by design a hair-dresser that had cut my hair for my daughter who decided her shabby mom needed a professional cut for a change and well this was my second appointment The Hair-dresser probably though I was some sort of vagabond who hadn’t had a professional cut done in many years. Shes right I cut my own hair… But I soon found out she heat’s her home with wood to save money and well the rest is history… I live in a modern society so you would think that no one would be doing the old ways of saving money and preparing for the worst, but as times have changed the arts and survival skills are starting to set in with those who have vision of what could be and that includes the art of canning…With that I have spent the last 20+ years learning all I can on gardening, and not just as a hobby but as a source of knowledge and thrift. Since I came from an agrarian society in the first place it wasn’t much of a stretch to slide back into it and expands ones knowledge for gardening. All things old are new again. And I’ve spent the last 20 plus years doing trial seed patches to see what works and doesn’t work for the climate and soil conditions, so I approach each new garden seed to see what I can do to create the optimum growing conditions to allow for its success and as a result I’ve learn what to plant and what not to plant… So I would like to thank you for your efforts to teach and share your life with us. As with out toil and troubles who would we be really. And when I run across some one who just asks about canning and learning to live frugally I send them your way in hopes that they to will grow to enjoy your life style and your many good works in an effort to grow us into better people.

That is terrific news and I am sure it puts your mind at ease so you can finish winterizing your place. Soon you'll be able to snuggle in all warm and comfortable. We had our first frost last night. I have a bunch of green tomatoes and my brother called and has a bunch of them. We are going to try to make some chunky, sweet, green tomato relish. Do you have a recipe for how long to can this? Would you water bath it or can it up? Thanks NaNa Jackie,
