We're getting ready for canning. I am running this cans (minus the lids) through the dishwasher one time, for a quick rinse and sterilization. These cans and lids are brand new so only a light but thorough cleaning are needed. So here's to some canning prep work!

A: There are three the things that make a difference in the eggs that you would get at the store and the eggs that you'd get from home. The first is: just holding the "homegrown" egg, you will notice the difference. The homegrown egg feels more dense where as the one from the store (even if it's larger) feels lighter. Secondly, when you crack open your first fresh egg, you will notice a more intense orange color than then the ones that you would get in the store. The egg yolks from the store are more yellow, where these are more "orange". Third is the freshness, you can taste the difference!

Wow! (It has really been a while...I am so glad that I have pictures that have photographed our journey along and along on the way). Our garden has truly come a long way. To date we have fresh vegetables GROWING in our garden. Just to name a few, we've got zucchini, cucumbers (see the two in photo), watermelons, potatoes, butternut squash, yellow squash, peas, carrots, potatoes, sunflowers, corn, peppers, three types of onions, lettuce, rutabagas...you name it. I've got lots and lots of updating to do. You won't believe your eyes!

And row two is: peas, carrots and rutabagas. Can anyone spell "rutabagas"? (I had to check the package).
