February 19, 2021 Preserving the Harvest with Ann Accetta-Scott
Do you grow food with preserving for the next year in mind? Do you have a local farmers market you can buy in bulk from? Do you grow for beauty or for bounty?
We all crave those big, beautiful slicing tomatoes on the table come summertime- but- they might not be the best for tomato sauce.
Do you feel overwhelmed with garden planning, we are here to help!

Hang with us today while we chat with Ann about preserving a garden harvest, choosing the right varieties to do so, and how to outsource if you want to put away something you don't grow well, or grow at all!
Thank you for listening!
