Things I've learned and Canning

Squash plants don't do at all well in a pot. They need lots more space to grow good squash.

Milk can't be a nutritional base for a baby because the solute concentration makes it difficult for their kidneys to process and it doesn't have enough iron. It doesn't matter if they have milk, they just need breastmilk or formula as their main source of nutrition. I can put milk on Gavon's cereal in the morning and it doesn't matter.

Babies can't have egg whites because the allergens may cause the baby to be allergic to eggs later on.

Yah, so I thought that was interesting.

This canning season I was able to do:
10 quarts peaches
7 quarts and 8 pints pears
7 quarts and 3 pints roma tomatoes
7 quarts Joanna's salsa
8 quarts applesauce

Yeah for canning!
