1st Time Canning Results:

First time we tried canning. Outcome:
Carrots: 11 Qts
Beans: 11Qts & 13 Pts
Pickled Beans: 7 Qts
Corn: 21Pts, 1 1/2 Pt
Pickled Beets: 8 Pts
Refrigerator Pickles: 3 Pts
 
 
 
And if we didn't have enough room in the canner then we froze what was left of the batch.  We also have onions, potatoes, and green tomatoes in the garage.  All in all, it was a good year. The fences really helped to keep the deer our, but a little more water would have helped.  David also grew sunflowers as well.  My mom came to stay the weekend & teach us the art of pickling. Good times had by all.  Hopefully we'll get a deer & get a chance to try canning venison!
