[King Kong]

I LOVE apple butter and cornbread!!  I make apple butter every other year.

Granny between apple butter, bread & butter pickles, I may need a care package soon enough! 

I LOVE canning in the summer and making relish, chow-chow, apple butter etc.  But I don't do NEARLY as much as I did when I raised a garden.  I'm too old to maintain a garden anymore.  And too smart to hoe in July!!!

We just raised a small garden last year.  Up until then our family would go in and raise a big garden.  For a few years we raised two big gardens. Hoeing those things was a nightmare!  Even with 5 or 6 of us.  Those long rows of corn seemed to never end! Very time consuming even with 2 tillers/plows involved.  
It just got to be too much. We gave away idk at the corn,  beans,  potatoes,  and sweet potatoes.  We were raising to much.  A lot of it was canned.  Which I guess if there's ever a zombie apocalypse or something like that,  you'll come hang out with Ol Kong here. We might have enough canned food to last until it's over 
Now one of my brothers and his wife have a freeze drier.  They even freeze dry candy.  Skittles are good like that!
