Time flew by again! Into the month of May. What are you growing in the garden, container or window box? Preservation goals this year? Last year I missed out buying strawberries from local farmer. This year I bought a bucket, just over 5 pounds. Now I have 5 jars of strawberry jam on shelf. And I made a syrup from the tops. With all that is going on I have my brain thinking of how to save more of what I grow. And save money. We don't eat out-money saved Drying clothes outside in warmer months-money saved on electricity

I have my potatoes planted, just waiting for them to pop up. I added more plants to my strawberry patch. My tomatoes should be here soon so I can get them planted. I have plans for lots of canned tomatoes and sauce. I will definitely need to do a couple more dried batches of peaches this year, more than last year. And I think our apple trees will finally yield enough fruit this year for applesauce!
