I do agree that the time to start figuring out the preservation methods you are going to use and learning how to do them, should not be when your garden is in full production. Harvest time can come on quickly and be quite intimidating. It also occurred to me that people who live in the city or even an apartment who have ambitions of a big garden someday would benefit from learning preservation skills. Thanks for the topic idea. I will be using it.<br />Larry DoubleLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106222038568634703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75195694163144986.post-92064021864424227502013-02-07T16:41:12.524-08:002013-02-07T16:41:12.524-08:00Equally important to the issue of growing food, is...Equally important to the issue of growing food, is the knowledge of preserving it. The successful garden spot can take a few years to mature into a truly harmonized and productive area as one learns what works and what does not, from season to season. In the mean time, in anticipation of that first season when your garden finally produces an overflow, why not start learning and doing food preservation projects using seasonal produce from other farmers? It'd marry in nicely with your blog topic if you filled us in on your success and failures.

I had trouble keeping my large pots watered properly so I hope the moisture meter will help with that. By the way thanks for the free e-books at your site too!DoubleLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106222038568634703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75195694163144986.post-23336312221601315982013-01-28T20:18:39.261-08:002013-01-28T20:18:39.261-08:00Congrats on ordering a PH tester.
