So this may be a hard question....I want to can. Pickles, Salsa, Tomato Sauce, Beans...you name it, I want to learn how to can it.
So this is my first real garden in many years. I have a small 100 sq foot raised bed and then lots of other things (peppers, herbs, tomatoes, melons, lettuce) tucked in beds here and there.
What I want to know is how many peppers do I need to plant if I want to jar some? All of my toms are not ripening quickly AT ALL, so I get enough to make a single batch of salsa which we eat in a day or 3. How many cuke plants does one need to make a years worth of pickles?
I began this adventure with great plans for summer canning and realize that I have a lot to learn! There must be a rule of thumb as to how much to plant!
