Just get out and do it.

Welcome to my blog, Garden for Your Life! This site will be mostly about my garden, but you can build one just like it in your back yard too. It can be bigger or smaller, just get out and do it. You can do it for fun. Your can do it for your health. You can do it for fresh food in these troubled times. The point is to get out and do it for whatever reason that you need.

Over time I will cover topics like canning and preserving your harvest, soil and beds, bugs, what to plant and when, and much more.

I've been working on this garden on mine and improving on it for over five years now. I will continue doing that for many more. You can too, just get out and do it.

Fresh Manhattan Clam Chowder!

Howdy,  I found a great recipe for Manhattan Clan Chowder.  Here's the recipe from allrecipe.com.

I added tablespoon of chopped garlic and some chopped BACON! to it.  After we tried the recipe we decided to make a big batch and can it.  It came out great!

Our test batch. It was so yummy!
We used home canned stewed tomatoes with onions, celery, and green peppers in it.
Next came the chopped carrots and potatoes. 

Add the spices, salt, and pepper and warm it up to mix well.

The first batch ready to go!

And into the pressure canner! 1 hour and forty minutes at 10 psi.

The finished product!  I love that ping as the jar cools.
