Ok, so my canning experience was a bit of a flop. For one, I thought I was going strawberry picking, and I didn't know that there wasn't any until late next month. Instead, we went to the farmers market and got some there. That day, we had to run a bunch of errands, so I didn't get home till around 5pm. I was still determined, but at this point I was kind of wiped out (not a good time to take on something new). I had expectations of this wonderful day calmly canning with the kids. It ended up with me stressed and frustrated the whole time. I did can some strawberry jam but it looks runny. Madison loves it so at least it won't all go to waste. I will not give up though. I'm just going to have to try again...yes I can!!!
The whole weekend was not a flop though.
We planted two more raspberry bushes and one blackberry bush.
My lettuce box is really sprouting.
Tyler and I had a blast doing this seed project for school.
I'm enjoying the yearly blessing of birds building nests in our ferns.
