I have a trillion seeds, when we had our small greenhouse (portable). Last year it split so we put it away. Eventually I want to build a permanent greenhouse, and go back to growing our own plants. Last year a woman I work with said she didn't waterbath her tomatoes when canning, so I asked her how she did it. She just boils the tomatoes, and adds them to a sterilized jar and lid and that's it. We tried it last year and had better results than using a waterbath. We do have a large pressure canner, which we do beets, beans and other non acid foods. When it comes to pickles, we pour boiling brine over the pickles and water bath for 5 minutes. It's not the recommended time according to the FDA, but we have crisp pickles. It was a good year for the garden, hopefully next year brings more rain. Peppers are the only thing left standing, and not for long. Everything was mowed down, plowed under and disked. I added a little lime, a little fertilizer and planted winter rye and medium red clover. Should take care of most nutrient requirements next year.
