And thank you for the kind words....Well, welcome!! And thank you for the kind words. You sound like us. We live in the city center while we work and save and plan. The farm is our weekend getaway (and my everyday day dream subject). In a few years, we hope to start transitioning to being out there more than in town and then eventually, just be out there all the time. That's why we're doing stuff now like planting fruit trees, and building the garden beds, etc. Even if they aren't producing yet, we know they will be eventually. <br /><br />There are pics, I think if you click over on the side bar under the labels the tab that says property, I think a lot of posts with pics will come up. BUT, that being said I will make it a point to take some around the property soon. <br /><br />Thanks for coming by and we hope you'll come back soon!!!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-88265974645664169842014-05-28T23:17:16.887-05:002014-05-28T23:17:16.887-05:00We so can't wait to have our fruit trees full ...We so can't wait to have our fruit trees full size and producing. I planted a couple of figs, and a pear and a peach etc etc. Still need a plum. Oh, and have a pecan, about 6 feet tall, still in the container in town, I need to find the right spot for it, since it's a very large "forever" tree. What a nice idea about a trio of jars in a basket. Love it!!

I wasn't sure about pectin, but I think there are times when it's needed huh? And as long as you get good quality, all natural, at least you know what you're putting into it.

Oh, we wild definitely be reusing the jars. I've already got some (of varying sizes) in a box in the pantry. Just have to buy a package of lids. <br /><br />If i hadn't been sure of the popping ahead of time (the book told me) I would have thought something was wrong. but it sure is a satisfying sound isn't it??<br /><br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-2902968153549470552014-05-28T22:32:11.855-05:002014-05-28T22:32:11.855-05:00Oh I can't wait!!!
