| Hi Achternaam, Welcome back to our weekly newsletters! Now is the time to get ready for a new year and new challenges. This week, I wanted to mention a few specific resources that might be helpful as we prepare for another gardening season. Gardening is my happy place, and I'm already looking forward to spring! :) FTC Disclosure: If you make a purchase via a link in this email, I may receive a small commission on the transaction - at no added cost to you. Thank you for your support! Have you ordered your seeds yet? Seeds are in high demand right now (like they were last year). If you still need to order some for yourself, consider this family heirloom seed business. They're still shipping and packing orders in a timely manner. Also, if you would like to learn how to start your own seedlings at home, Stoney Acres offers a course that might be helpful too. Since many less-common varieties aren't available as seedlings in local nurseries, seed starting at home is a great alternative. I've often started my own seeds. Okay, let's get into this week's articles: Orange Marmalade Recipe - Citrus is plentiful this time of year, so why not try your hand at making homemade orange marmalade? This recipe is easy, though it is a little more fiddly than a plain jam.
Learn about Orange Marmalade here. Canning Jar Lids - Canning jar lids have been difficult to find lately, but they are still an important part of the canning process! Here are some important things you should know about them.
Learn about Canning Jar Lids here. Preserving Asparagus - Asparagus is one of the first spring veggies, and it won't be long before it begins sprouting in some areas of the country! This page shares ideas for preserving fresh asparagus.
Learn about Preserving Asparagus here. Kombucha Tea Recipe - This is NOT a canning recipe, but some of you might still enjoy this fermented, probiotic, healthy sweet tea recipe anyway. It is kind of like healthy soda.
