Food Preservation

Welcome! This year (2012) we attempted a new gardening approach, called Back to Eden. In an effort to determine how successful our garden is, we are keeping track of how much food we are able to preserve. Of course, not everything is coming from our garden, so I will indicate where it came from in the charts below.
