Who still grows vegetables and puts them up sither in jars or the freezer?

-raises hand- I do, I do. I have a relatively small garden but I grow alot of veges in it. What I don't freeze/dry, goes to the neighbors which is usually a lot. I'm almost out of basil after 6yrs. so going to be planting a couple this year to dry out for the next 6yrs. I don't use a ton of it but it keeps well in the freezer.

We plant and grow potatos, and have a cellar in our basement to store them all winter. We grow corn and freeze it, tomatos are canned and frozen, peppers are canned and frozen, cabbage is frozen, beans are frozen or canned.. We have cherries that are made into jam, pears that we make pear butter, and we also grow herbs which are dried.

I spend a god part of my summer working in my gardens. I grow peas, carrots, radishes, tomatos, potatos, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, For fruits i do raspberries in white and red, might try black this summer. Strawberries, blueberries, currents, rhubarb... I know im forgetting alot thats a basic of it though. I try to grow enough throughout the summer to keep on hand for winter. Dosent always work that way, but its a try lol.

i do.i can and freeze. they taste better,and you know what's in/on them. much cheaper,too.nowadays with the contaminated food scares,i'm planting even more per year.
