About a week ago I took a look at my pepper plants and realized that I was about to be buried alive in hot peppers. Now, appealing as that might sound to some people, I know that I won't be able to use all of these suckers while they're still fresh. I need to learn how to preserve fruits and veggies. I'm starting with canning, since that seems the most mysterious and potentially dangerous of the various food preservation methods. Might as well live on the edge, right? Anyway, after googling around I found a pretty straightforward series of videos from Granny Miller. This is a five part series. I'll break this up over several posts over the next few days, but if you're anxious to watch them all at once then check out Granny Miller's youtube page, where you can also learn how to shear a sheep, make a slipcover, or raise chickens.

City Farmers Around The Globe
CityFarmer.info is an extremely informative site focused on sharing urban garden stories from around the world. It is run by the Vancouver based organization City Farmer whose objective is:
to teach people how to grow food in the city, compost their waste and take care of their home landscape in an environmentally responsible way.
City Farmer is packed full of inspirational articles and instructional videos. One can sit for hours looking through all of the wonderful features like this one that I had seen previously through CNN about a family living in CA who lives off of their family's produce by selling to local restaurants...and it's all grown on a .10 of an acre!
