Will plant beets, turnips and another round of lettuce in the fall.

For anyone wanting to use a pressure canner, I would be happy to talk you through it. It is really no more dangerous than boiling water on the stove. They are built with safety mechanisms to protect you. It just takes a watchfull eye and they are handy as the dickens. I would freeze more but we just don't have the space, so I can most of what I grow. This year is a experiment in making claussen kosher dill pickles. I love those things nad they are just to darned expensive in the store.
