    first timing canning - hoping it all worked out okay

    Thanks RockyTopsis! I'm sure I'll feel more confident the more I can. I taught myself how to make jelly/jam when I was 16 and I used the wax method of sealing at that time, and I didn't kill anyone then. There's such bravery in youth!

    first timing canning - hoping it all worked out okay

    Right after I posted my initial post, my husband called to me "they all popped!!!" So I'll test for sure later, but I feel a bit more confident! Oh that's a great suggestion - thank you! No I didn't - but I think I'll try some with it next time. I only have one child, son age 20; I think he...

    first timing canning - hoping it all worked out okay

    First time canner here! I tried a bread and butter pickle recipe from the Ball book. Just took the pints out of the canner - one immediately went "clipop" and sealed. Of course, I'm sure all the others won't seal and I'll be a failure! I'm a voracious reader/researcher, but all the reading...

    Hollyhocks and mulch

    Hey Natalie - thanks for the encouragement. I will try again! I put them in what I had thought was the sunniest spot in our yard, but they ended up all rusty. I live in Ohio, with lots of clay, so I'll have to research more about the type of soil, etc and give it another go. We also have a...

    My go-to is Fanny Farmer. I'd like to at some point pick up the Betty Crocker some day. I also really like the original "Laurel's Kitchen" but it's out of print and hard to find :( Mine is still kicking around, but it's pretty battle weary!

    Please show me your walnuts!!! **Pic Added**

    We have/had a few black walnuts - they drive me batty! Gonna be taking down the last one (huge, in the middle of our yard) - wonder how long it will take before the earth is rid of that poison the roots produce so I can plant a coupla fruit trees?
