Gardening is something that I feel is a no brainer when it comes to doing it or not. I started gardening 3 years ago. We planted a garden that year and then didn't the following year because i was pregnant and then this year we have one again...so in being prepared to maybe catch the baby bug sometime this year i am trying to can A LOT so that if i don't have a garden next year we will be able to eat out of the this years garden until 2012...I know that probably isn't possible but I am trying all the same.
So today was the starting of canning season at the Welschenbach household which seems to be a very housewifey thing to do...that and couponing are about the only housewifey things I am good at and/or enjoy. I picked off my one long row of Blue Lake green beans and planned on going to the grocery...we (casey and I) decided to forfeit our grocery trip- do to the fact that he didn't want to stay home and watch the kids while i ran, and he didn't want to go. We tried to pick up the house a bit, and then the kiddos fell asleep and I ran to Wal-mart (not my favorite store!) and grabbed some canning seals and the canning tongs and some other items as well. We had Steak and mushrooms and corn on the cob for dinner and some grilled zucchini- which no one ate because it was well done. Casey made dinner which was very nice, but didn't clean up. I would rather make dinner than clean up the kitchen! Seriously! :) And now that the kids are in bed and Casey is at work I am canning away...go green beans go!!!
