I had greens all through last winter but it is a tad colder this year. We had snow yesterday which is quite rare. I was going to try canning myself but it looked a little beyond my capabilities. Hearing you say that you despise it, I'm glad I decided against it.
I'm so jealous! I buy most of my lettuce from a local farm, but I really want to not be so dependent on them. I haven't been able to grow lettuce well. Next year, I'm going in big!
I solved one big canning problem, that of my kitchen heating up during the hottest months of the year, by getting a presto electric canner. And after twenty times, it does get less stressful. But it's still a major pain in the ass. I'm a big fan, now, of freezing food.
