Just a heads up fellow caners, some stores in my area have name brand canning lids on the shelves now. Yes the prices are higher and they have a limit of one, but they are there
The wife picked up a bunch today, and by the way my 15L fermenting crock arrived yesterday. Now just waiting for my cabbage to mature and I’ll be making some kraut, again thanks buddy.
mrobisr send a pic when you put the crock in action.

I grow indoors during the winter using an AeroGarden hydroponic system. Mostly growing herbs for fresh cooking and dehydrating. I planted a tomato some weeks ago and moved to a soil pot. These were some cuttings I took from it and a basil cutting. They have rooted nicely and will be a nice kick-start for my summer garden. I’ll be starting the rest of my seeds soon using the hydroponic garden.

Deepwoodsbutcher Looks good. I have never had any luck starting my own plants from seed. They sprout and then end up dying. I finally gave up on it.

Looks like you got it down. I think my "black thumb " would keep me from gardening. My plastic plants get sick and die!

RON PARRISH I went to school for greenhouse and landscape management. I had 2 years of learning to sprout and grow plants. It’s a science. It doesn’t always work out for me either

Gettin the beds ready. My seeds were hit or miss this year so may be buying some plants but we’ll see. Lettuce, arugula, and mustard greens direct sown doing ok.
Pulled some “weeds” out of the garden today. Got me thinking because what I was removing was all foragable plants. Chickweed, purple dead nettle, etc. Anyone else on here do any foraging? Recently tried some trout Lilly which was great. Also a big fan of Japanese knotweed. Also reminded me how I would like to try my hand at some mushrooms. Maybe this year. Thinking of doing logs but may start with a bun and take it from there.

Surg Japanese knotweed is an invasive species here. You can’t bring it into the state. We have a patch at our property that we are trying to kill right now. The root system goes down up to 25’. The problem is it is tight next to the creek so we have to be careful with herbicides since it’s a salmon bearing stream as well. The stuff is terrible, almost like kudzu since it a rhizome. We do have a secret weapon, the weed wacker with the brush blade and weekly cutting to the ground then Round Up dosed into each individual plant cell.
