September 2024 ACES: Harvesting & Preservation

Grow More Videos – September 2024

As mentioned in the newsletter in April and May, I will spend some time introducing you to the wide-reaching range of topics that ACES has prepared to help us all become better gardeners.

1. Initial preparation of the garden
2. What to plant and control of insects
3. Growing and harvesting

This final month will wrap up these topics with the following videos that, mainly, deal with harvesting and preservation of your harvest. You will find that there are, perhaps multiple techniques to preserve your harvest such as:

• Drying
• Freezing
• Pickling
• Pressure Canning
• Water Bath Canning
