    Getting ready for canning season

    I know it is a bit early, . . . but it was too cold for anything outside (never got above 0 at my place), . . . so we put in a whole bunch of new shelving, . . . re-arranged some of the old, . . . counting down the days till we are back in the canning business.

    The "L" shaped group were done a couple years back, . . . the flat group with the mirror in the middle were all done today.

    Not a professional job by any means, . . . but if it'll hold the jars and cans, . . . I'm not complaining.

    The mirror pulls back and there is a cabinet behind it, . . . it's full of spices and the like. The mirror came from my uncle's dairy farm from decades ago.

    May God bless,
    Dwight

    Its never too early to start planning ahead for the new season. I have already be looking over seed catalogs since before Christmas. Already planning to put in several raised beds this year. Hoping it helps my tomatoes and peppers since I can improve the soil quality easier and the soil drainage. This year I also plan to add marigolds and other flowers to help with pest control and to help draw more bees for pollination.

    I ditto Hawg's comment. Very nice looking setup Dwight!

    It's never too early to start planning.

    I do not even have the walls raised on Mrs Inor's shack and I am already planning out the framing for a greenhouse (the next big project).

    Note: I have some guys coming over tomorrow to help me raise the walls on Mrs Inor's Art Shack. Then we'll be rockin' heavy on that project!
