Preserving food

[Jake Smith]

Those beans look great! I always thought canned goods looked so pretty sitting on the shelves or in a pantry. I have a very old picture of some canned goods that I made years ago. Peaches, Dill pickles, Tomato juice, tomatoes, relish, green beans, blackberry and strawberry jelly. I use to make lots of canned goods.

Thanks, "Krystal", I feel the same way about the way they look so pretty, especially when there's different colors.

I have scattered asparagus around the property because we turn over the garden periodically. Some I remember where I put them to harvest(food forest) some I find after they are well past picking. I would hope, in times of true need, I would remember and pay more attention with daily foraging instead of staying close to the buildings. I do love asparagus.

Not finding them soon enough has been my problem, too, @Mary Stetler . I have some planted in various places but I never notice where they are at an until they are 2 feet tall and starting to bush out.
I just ordered 20 more starts, and this time, Bobby is going to make us a dedicated asparagus bed, and i will plant them all right there and we can find them when they first come up.
