They are in the pressure canner.
Just as I had the steam venting for the recommended 10 minute venting time the power went out for about 3 minutes. ![]() So I had to start the timer over when the power came back on. A picture will be posted in about 2 hours. ![]() Worth |

Salt... Have your babies popped their heads up yet? After planting mine I had put a piece of plastic over the top of the pots to help keep the soil moist in the heat here. I took it off today as I see some of the sprouts are breaking the surface.

Here they are, 8 quarts that's 2 gallons of homemade gumbo.
The 4 quarts on the right are extra hot. ![]() Im sure some Cajun would say it isn't gumbo unless it's made in Louisiana. ![]() Worth IMG_2015041034658.jpg Last edited by Worth1; April 10, 2015 at 06:08 PM. |

I know me too. I can do the prep and the water bath, it's the proper sealing that scares the heck out me. But, Salt we don't need to learn. Ya know why? Because , how many folks we got on this thread, we should have enough where Worth can send us all a jar. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Floating seeds in my experience rarely germinate. As for soaking them, I use 1 tsp. salt peter to a quart of warm water. Ever since I started doing this my germination rate has increased and germination time has decreased.
Carolyn, I didn't know there was any other way to eat collards other than cooked with ham hocks and for the tea it's gotta be sweet but have used saccharin my entire life. It's something my mother started since before I was born and before any one in the family developed diabetes.
