Denanna Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 HI, I am from southern Oregon. I was looking at farming websites and found Darlene's. After an email conversation, I ended up here. I love it already! I canned for the first time last summer and cannot wait to do it again. I am very interested in learning how to do things the old fasion way. There is so much information here, I wish I could just read all day! I am looking forward to learning all I can, Not sure how to convince my husband though! LOL Take care Link to comment
Jori Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Welcome Denanna! Glad to have you here Link to comment
themartianchick Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nice to have you here, Denanna! My hubby wasn't immediately on board with everything that I wanted to do but he is pretty much on board now. He sees the value in having a home that is stocked up and sustainable. Do you live in an urban, suburban or rural environment now? Link to comment

Denanna Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for the welcomes. Right now, we are living in a mobile home park. My husband and I and three girls, one of which is going to have a baby boy any time now! She is due on the 21st so we are anxiously waiting! I am hoping and praying though that we will soon have a place out away from the city, with enough room to have a good garden and some animals. I don't see how that could happen soon but if it's what God wants, it is certainly possible! Link to comment

Christy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Denanna, welcome here. There is a lot of info on the board, you can spend days just searching any topic you'd like. Since you may not have space for a garden where you live, have you heard of vertical gardening? Recently saw someone who creatively took one of those shoebags made of plastic, hung on a wall and each pocket filled with vegetables and earth. Link to comment
Denanna Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I have looked around some, there is so much! The canning I did was mostly tomato sauce and fruits but I am curious about meats and soups. Anyone know where I could find more recipes? I saw a few on here. Of course I have to dig in the shed for the pressure canner my mother-in-law swears she gave me. If you guys weren't so far away I would want to come visit for a week so I could learn hands on, LOL I do have 2 small raised beds that I grew some fall veggies in and am hoping to get prepared for spring/summer soon. Of course it won't hold everything I want to grow, but it's a start. My husband made some planter boxes on the porch that I have herbs in. Link to comment
Becca_Anne Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Welcome Denanna! I'm in S. Or too I don't have a garden anymore though, the deer eat everything LOL. I buy produce at the fruit stand when I want to can Link to comment
