This year I was busy growing a baby so my garden was piddly but I did get about 35 quarts of green beans and 12 quarts of salsa. I was so sad that I couldn't do any peaches, but I had my baby right at the peak of the peach season. I love to look at all those beautiful jars (and eat all those yummy green beans)! :)Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25267270.post-69496762655339563232008-10-09T15:45:00.000-07:002008-10-09T15:45:00.000-07:00Well look at you!

I must be more of a stinker, because I said that I would never plant a garden (my dad would get out the tractor to plow the most enormous garden you have ever seen! and we'd each have 12-14 rows that were all our own to take care of), and I yet to plant a garden. Maybe the trauma hasn't worn off yet from my childhood.<BR/>Sometimes though, the taste of fresh veggies from the garden sounds so good. Guess I'm not all "growed" up yet. Congratulations! :)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605783419298332251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25267270.post-61723906159749637462008-10-08T10:26:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:26:00.000-07:00Ooh, you ARE a domestic goddess!I have never canne...Ooh, you ARE a domestic goddess!<BR/><BR/>I have never canned, nor have I ever had any food that had been jarred.

I have a hard time making myself start, but once I do, I am always pleasantly surprised at how easy it really is.<BR/><BR/>I love the feeling of satisfaction also. As though I am truly contributing. I didn't can this year. Couldn't talk myself into it. I hate that. I can be pretty stubborn.
