August 2009

We have primarily focused on canning the last six weeks. We will be having another Canning Seminar August 8, where everyone is welcome. Please pre-register so we will have enough binders of canning information to hand out--there is no cost for the program or the binder (see yesterday's post for more information).

In August we will focus on fall and winter vegetable gardening. Growing a garden is part of being prepared for emergencies, by having your own supply of food, both fresh and preserved (canned, dehydrated and frozen). If you already have a summer vegetable garden, it will be an easy transition to winter gardening. If you are just beginning to garden, now is the time to start. We are lucky here in the valley, where we can harvest year-round! You might want to go to the gardening links that are on the side-bar, and begin to become familiar with different methods of gardening--finding what will work for you. As you can see by these pictures of winter vegetables--they are anything but boring!
