Hello Group,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ann and I live in Tennessee.

We are in a severe drought here so my husband has been watering our garden
twice a day.

I am married and have 1 grown son, no grandchildren yet.

I like to b described as a stay at home wife...
I preserve or put up a lot of the food we eat.
Such as:
applesauce, peaches, fruit cocktail, green beans, canned corn, canned sweet
potatoes, white potatoes, dill pickles, sweet bread and butter pickles,
salsa, tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef stew, split pea soup, chicken soup,
mexican chicken soup, chicken broth, beef broth, canned chicken, canned
beef, canned pork, spaghetti meat sauce, taco meat, chili meat, kidney
beans, bean soup, pork and beans, pickled beets, dill relish, gren tomato
pickles,white beans, yellow wax beans, preserves, italian beef and I will
try a few new things this year.

I also make my own bread, hamburger buns, beef buns, make homemade mixes for
baking. I also make my own spice and seasoning mixes.

I have a small organic garden using raised beds. We grow green beans, wax
beans, lettuce, radishes, beets, white potatoes, sweet and bell peppers,
tomatoes, onions, cantaloupes, kolorabi, some cabbage, eggplant, dill, other
herbs, asparagus.

WE have a small orchard but it froze out this year from late freezes and
frosts.

I am very busy in the spring, summer and fall.

But I truly love it.


Ann
