You put this video up in Feb. of 2009 and 3.5 years later your still teaching those of us who never learned the basics how to survive. The internet is a wonderful thing but it’s people like you who add the content of real lasting value. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

I figured that I would wait till about late August to plant the greens. I was the guy that told you about planting 1 acre of sweet corn a few months back. Well the drought got about 15-20% of it but I watered it for two weeks and now we have had 4 days of rain. gonna pick our first batch to sell this Saturday. I took your advice and planted half and half two weeks after. so far it looks great and ate a dozen Sunday. I also bought the canner you recomended and LOVE it. Canning corn next.

Hey Steve, the greens turned out real good. Mustard is a cool weather crop so don’t plant too early…..Donald

Hey Donald,
How did those greens turn out? I am thinking about planting some as soon as my green beabs are done, which I think they are pretty much done with this bad heat.

Folks, DON’T do what this guy does and yank the weight off while the canner is still under pressure. I don’t know where he learned how to can but it must have been from the “My momma and gramma told me to do it this way school of canning”
Allow the canner to return to ZERO pressure first THEN remove the weight and open. Many people will even go a step further and allow it to cool for a time after that.

City gals and boys can survive if they only learn the basics. That is very true.

Donald, thanks for the great videos. Do canned vegetables have to be stored at a certain temperature? (beginners).

… I think you are really going to enjoy canning. It’s nice to open a jar of peas in the winter that was grown during the summer. Garden fresh vegetables are simply the best……Donald

Thanks so much for this video! We recently moved from the city to 5 acre farm and have had success with our first fall/winter garden. I can’t wait to can what I grow this spring/summer. :o)

…It’s been many years since we’ve done Chow Chow. Get a copy of the Ball canning book, lots or recipes….Donald

@webcajun do you have any recipes for canning/pickling RED cabbage or would you make it like regular sauerkraut and just substitute the cabbage?

A new way to garden! Check out The Bucket Garden by Ted Hallett, The Garden Master. It appears he is taking the best of hydroponics gardening, organic gardening and has wrapped it up in a high bred container garden.

Looks Great, I canned up my Kale plants last week. The hardest part is letting them sit in the jars and not eat them, but I sure will be glad they are there when I have a couple feet of snow covering my garden 🙂

Thanks Donald! I have a small garden with a few raised beds. I am growing cabbage, collards, and broccoli right now in NC. I am going to try to grow purple hull peas next year thanks to you. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.
