I was checking for farms around my area the other day and found couple of pick your own fruits and vegetables farms nearby. Strawberry picking is now available till June. I can’t wait to take the kids this weekend and pick some strawberries for my strawberry jam making. I never made a jelly or jam before and I hope it will be a successful one.

I can’t wait for vegetable picking season so I can start canning too. I made some dill pickles two years ago and it was a disaster. My pickles was not edible, it was too salty and taste nasty. I have no idea what I did…I followed the recipe I found online. I really need to watch mom canning and maybe study more about how to can vegetables and fruits properly. I don’t have a garden yet and it’s too late for me to start one. I told hubby that we will set my rise bed garden this year and start planting next year. I’m glad too because the weather this time is unbearable. Anyway, I have to get out now and continue with my chores.
