We are putting in the biggest garden ever and hubby is actually helping big time this year. Problem is, I think we are going to have more to put in than what we have tilled. We are probably going to have to till another area. The good thing is, we have the space to do it. This will be my 1st attempt at canning. I hope I can keep up with all we are planting. Due to all the rain here in IL, we are putting the majority of our plants/seeds in this week. It’s been too wet to get in the planting beds.

Get yourself a copy of 'The Ball Blue Book' and you can't go wrong. It's my bible when it comes to canning anything. Borrow it from the Library for this season, but then you'll want a copy for yourself, I'm sure.

Gabz? Which reference book is your favorite?
