I have eggs water-glassed but not enough for the entire winter. I'm canning potatoes & green beans right now and the tomatoes are ripening. I'll do a batch or two of relish and will stock up on the pickles we like. I've been stocking up on dry and canned goods all year but I need to count up and make sure I have enough. I'd like 2 years worth or more and I'm definitely not there yet.<br />And I have finally gotten DH on the bandwagon. He's working on getting us a generator. No way to put in wood heat but I could make our propane stretch if needed. We need the electric for the well. I'm working on him to see if our old well will take a hand pump. So much to do!<br />Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987409444312360594.post-54672250558529824562022-07-13T10:39:20.897-04:002022-07-13T10:39:20.897-04:00if you have a camp ground within 5 miles. let them...if you have a camp ground within 5 miles. let them know you have fire wood.

They will be "greasy". I vacuum bagged mine. This time I beat them up and put in sandwich bags (2 eggs or 1 egg) and froze them and put in freezer bags.Chef Owingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232750876170243171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987409444312360594.post-64387479087138920052022-07-11T10:19:48.781-04:002022-07-11T10:19:48.781-04:00need to replace garden beds as they are falling ap...need to replace garden beds as they are falling apart.

I admire your planning skills, and your writing is really well done, interesting and doesn’t meander ;). Anyway, just wanted to thank you for the time you spend on this blog!

When I had chickens, I froze eggs in tiny 4 oz Ball jars. Well, all sorts of sizes for how many eggs I wanted to thaw at once. I miss chickens. Onions, chopped and dehydrated helped to only buy Vidalia or onion on sale. Meals were so easy with the onions already chopped. Tommy pretty much eats what I tell him unless he has his eye on something I don't think of that we have cooked in the refrigerator. I wish I had four freezers! and a barn.<br /><br />Why will you not be able to plant next year?

We are only buying best deals and foods to replace what we eat when we find a good price. Today we were able to restock chicken thighs for 1.18 a pound which I was very happy to find.
