Summer has been keeping all of us busy, but now we're back and ready to inspire and be inspired. If you haven't taken the time to check out the sidebars (over on the right of this entry), please do so -- there is a wealth of information on these sites. You may find answers to questions you have right now. If you're like me, you find answers to questions you didn't have, but are glad to find out!
We've had a lot of requests for a hands-on canning demonstration. If you're interested and want to participate, post a response here and let me know. Please add any specifics you want to know about or do --- do you want to can fruit? can vegetables? meat? what about freezing any of those? We'll get it scheduled and we'll can something together. Also, if you have experience in these areas and are willing to help with the demonstration, please post here too. We want to share our knowledge with each other. We're finding that we all have something to share that benefits someone else in our group and that's exciting.
Don't forget tonight's meeting: Desi's home at 6:30pm.
Group Deal: Siphon and hose for 55 gallon water barrels (Thanks Stacy!)
Remember: If you have something you want to give away, bring it to the meeting -- great way to weed out and share with someone who may be looking for that particular item.
Also: If you know of a deal to be had -- share it with us, we'll post it here and send out an email.
THANKS EVERYONE!
I am very interested in learning how to can - fruit, veggies, and cooked meats. I know how to dry & freeze. My freezer is overflowing with this year's bounty but my pantry shelves could hold more, especially canned goods.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for unwanted newspaper and/or office paper (printed is okay but not glossy paper), grass clippings, leaves, extra compost or hay, etc, for my soon-to-be garden. I will gladly come pick up or gather any time - now or this fall and winter.
