Who does this anymore? Canning,  I mean. Really, who?

I’m drawn to my garden like a kid to mud. It’s work…back-bending. But I happily pamper those little seedlings through early spring and into summer for that first BLT sandwich that is going to drip with tomato! 

From humble beginnings, through armies of caterpillars, slugs, aphids and beetles, I will nurture those tomato plants to death, until the only way they can go is up. 

If you get your nails done, you probably won’t be gardening or canning vegetables. After pickling 22 pints of sweet beets, you can imagine how my fingers look. If you don’t get up at by six in the morning to water or pick or prune, you’re not going to have those beautiful cucumbers to plan a meal with. 

And that’s why I can. Because I can!
