Today I canned my first Green beans ,6 quarts! I used a water bath and put in vinegar to add acid. They all sealed ! I also canned 2 quarts and 3 pints of apples. They look really pretty in the Jar. Just think of all the cobblers and pies and fried apples I can make this winter.
This season we also got 15 jars of jam from our concord grapes. I have also put 7 gallon bags of juice in the freezer.
The corn has already come in and we had about 70 ears put up in the freezer. We definitely need to get a freezer for next year.
I have also canned 8 jars Jalapeno pepper jelly! For my first time out I don't think that's half bad.
We are looking forward to getting chickens this spring!

This is our little farm inVa. We have lived here for almost 3 years. We have 3 acres and we love it . We are hoping to get chickens this spring and maybe some goats.
