Love all the posts from Northern fellow gardeners. So much fruit & vegetables during summer. We work and work to preserve the bounty.
Then the snows come.
In the early morning darkness of winter, I make my way to the the kitchen. I put the kettle on for tea and while I wait, I crack open the first jar of strawberry jam and smell the scent of summer. That, for me, is reason enough for preserving it all.
