Debbie - I can tomatoes, salsa, apple putter, pear butter, peach butter, we make our own various kinds of hot sauces and can them, spaghetti sauce, and soups, chilis, and stews. I make my own clothes detergent and fabric softener. (I love this stuff!) This year we purchased a green house and started out own garden plants including strawberry plants for 2007.
BUT - you gotta understand, this stuff comes in "seasons"... so sometimes - it's feast or famine. But I do all of this to help out my husband because I don't "work" outside the home except for occassional catering jobs and with two teens, a one income family is hard financially!!!! We do without a lot, but the sacrifice is sooooo worth it! God is GOOD!!!
