Hi, just started here today, but I've been reading the website for a couple weeks now.

I don't have a farm, but I want one.

We have 3 gardens behind our house, and I'm taking up canning this year.

Last year I did a little, Green Tomato Relish & Salsa Verde.

So far this year I've made Strawberry jam, 2 jars of green beans, and I'm in the process of making Wild Black Raspberry jelly.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

CRshelpmeet - you have mail

Well I've made my first batch of Wild black raspberry jelly, I finished at 2pm, by the time I left for work at 3pm, it was still really runny. So hopefully when I get home at midnight, it'll be set. We'll see.

Hi Sara!
Welcome to the Farm! :D
I haven't tried canning yet, but am looking forward to learning soon. I don't have a farm either, but some nice veggies gardens. (Mostly, tomatoes and pepper plants.:) ) I'd just love to know your recipe for the salsa..sounds Yummies!!
Glad you are joining us!
hugs

Hi, Sara. I'm in Rochester, so we're pretty close. Those 3 gardens sound great to me. Welcome!

Sara, You will enjoy this blog. It has a lot of great information and is a very good sounding board when needed. I lived on a farm when I was very little but I was lucky and went back every summer and a lot of week-ends. It was so much fun a lot of work but I always loved it. Welcome!!

Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Hi Sara and welcome to the forum! I don't have a farm either and still happily call myself a farm girl. Did live on one as a girl and some days I ache to be in the country but I can get my farmin' thrills via the other farm girls here who do have one and I don't have to freeze my heiny off when its 20 below. Shame on me...grin. Welcome aboard :)

Happy farmgirl sister #353

Hi Sara! Welcome to the farm! I'm not too far from you in Avon, just south of Rochester. Yah for NY Farmgals!
You will find that you don't need a farm to be a Farmgirl at heart and you obviously have farmgirl blood with all your gardening and canning! That green tomato relish sounds delish.
Great to have you here.
