I'm hoping to take a new picture of that section of the pantry to put up on my site after I can pears. Right now I have a lot of empty jars, waiting to be filled with peaches and pears! We are eating some of it faster than I can can it!<br /><br />I would love to have my own green beans and corn to can, but they don't do well in the heat here, so I get them from the store when they have case-lot sales. I can't grow enough tomatoes to can for all of our needs, so I buy those as well. I also get canned olives and mandarin oranges. I'd love to grow mandarin oranges, if I can find a spot! Olives are illegal here because of the pollen.<br /><br />If we had a bigger garden, I would grow much more. I know that right now, we are where God wants us to be. I am working on growing as much as I can with the land that He has blessed us to use.The Prudent Homemakerhttp://www.theprudenthomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.com
