You've worked the soil, you've dealt with the weather, you've fought the pests, and you've grown a huge crop of beautiful garden vegetables. Now what? The books included here are the best ones we've seen on the subject of "putting away" the harvest. Preserving, drying, freezing, pickling, canning - even wine making! Self sufficient, sustainable gardening involves growing food for use year round, so come and learn the not-so-ancient art of preserving the harvest.
How to Store Your Garden Produce
By Piers Warren
Why is storing your garden produce the key to self-sufficiency? Because with less than an acre of garden you can grow enough produce to feed a family of four for a whole year. But without proper storage, most of it will go to waste since much of the produce ripens simultaneously in the summer. Learn simple and enjoyable techniques for storing your produce and embrace the wonderful world of self-sufficiency. In the A-Z list of produce, each entry includes recommended varieties, suggested methods of storage, and a number of recipes. Everything from how to make your own cider and pickled gherkins to how to string onions and dry your own apple rings.
