Re: Who's got their garden started....
efhenry <br />In the late 80's I was showing off my garden to my fishing partners wife and she being a practical woman showed me where my corn was that I could get at least 15 more types of vegetable plants. So starting the next year there was no more corn.
In 1997 a guy came into the shop to pick up his stuff and said it had been a very good year for his garden. They had already canned as much corn as his family could eat for the year and he still had 200+ ears left. Would I mind taking that for the $20.00 repair ticket as he did not want it to be wasted.<br />We had not had home grown corn in years so jumped at it
<br />Ha ha.. didnt look like that much corn in the back of the truck!<br />When Mrs.Link got home you could not walk in the kitchen or dinning room for the boxes of corn! <br />I believe her first words were "What have you done now"<br />I said we going to can them.<br />Then she asked those annoying little questions like<br />Have you ever canned anything before?<br />
No but my folks used to<br />Do you have any idea of what equipment is needed?<br />
No but it can't be that much<br />Do you have any idea of what your doing?<br />
No but it can't be all that hard<br />hehe lucky for us her mom had boxes and boxes of canning jars and lids were easy to find.<br />We canned every night for a week. But didn't have to buy corn for over a year!
