It's not wise to compare yourself to others. Instead, be the best you you can be.
I follow this channel (Gooseberry Bridge Farm) on Instagram, and she recently shared her canning efforts from this growing season. I was impressed!
I grew jalapeño peppers this summer, but they never got really big. I harvested the last of them a couple days ago, and canned four beautiful half-pint jars of Cowboy Candy for the pantry.
My goal is to have a bona fide garden next growing season, and to have most of the items in our pantry be jars that I've canned or preserved myself (or with a little help). I want to be buying less and less at the grocery store, and shopping from our own shelves instead. So, I wanted to share this image, and keep it as inspiration for me for next year...even as I continue to put up items over the winter. I'll be sure to show you, as I go along.
I'm resting today, but will try to put up a fresh post tomorrow. Don't fret if you don't see a new post. I'll just be taking it easy, but I'll be back asap.
