I tried planting a veggie and fruit garden, but failed...lol! So I just borrow some tomatoes from the neighbor. Suppose I'll try again next year.

Other than that, I just go to the store.

Pa never promised me a rose garden but that is what I have LOL
I buy corn on the cob and cut off the leftovers and freeze them. Granddaughter buys apples and we can applesauce and I freeze it.

Don't have a garden. I freeze Dutch Strawberries and Raspberries in the summer because in the winter the only strawberries you can buy are from other country's and are expensive and don't taste as good as the Dutch ones.
Same goes for Dutch Cauliflower and Dutch Green Beans.
Other vegetables i buy fresh in the winter, lots of different kinds to choose from then.

I am in an apartment now so I can't have a garden... not that I ever had a garden but once. It is definitely not my style. I am not into all that weeding and such in the heat. I am also now in a wheelchair.

I make a lot of pickled eggs and stuff but I cheat. I use left over pickle juice or the pickled wine juice from the raw herring jars.

My daughter however, does can - mostly applesauce and fruit. She gives me some so I am happy Smile

I live in an apartment, so no choce. I used to garden and really loved eating things from our own garden. Gardens are so much work though! I have moved on to house plant and I'm hoping I don't kill them.
