Preserving totals 2014

Since the Science experiment garden had such a great yield last couple of years, Pooka, Daddy and I learned to can, freeze and dry our own foods. But we never had a good tally of everything we put away. This year I hope to change that in hopes that we can do a bit better planning each year. While most of the things are grown in our science experiment garden, I will admit not everything is. Things that were mostly bought on sale from the grocery store will have an * next to it. There are times you must admit that you are not completely self sufficient.
