I did a LOT of canning with my dad growing up and have been trying to get my wife to do it with me to no avail thus far 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how long they keep in a deep freezer tbh They’re not quite old enough to bear fruit on the trees but the berries did really well. When the trees take off, canning applesauce and jarred peaches is a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn,  that’s living.  Would love to have a couple peach trees,  They don’t last long in Kansas weather though.   Pear trees are a big hit around these parts though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t quite be the same but they’ll be good and it’s a fun hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve thought about it.  I really would just want them to eat though.   Spent one too many summers getting forced into canning/jamming them as a kid.  Some people enjoy it,  I lost all interest lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 That voice... That voice you hear... That voice you hear through the distant darkness warning you to turn back.... It's the voice of everything you've ever feared coming to fruition right before your eyes. You're left realizing that the cataclysm has begun and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
