I was just looking out the window this morning at my maple leaves and thinking I hope it stops raining soon so I can rake up those leaves and put them in my garden!!! I also enjoyed reading all your blogs on canning. I'm new to canning and have slowly been adding to my pantry. The first year it was tomatoes, second year added salsa making with the tomatoes and for my third year I have added pickled peppers and dill pickles along with the tomatoes and salsa. You mentioned a pressure canner what is that? I do all my canning in a canning pan with water etc. I would like to can my veggie chile and my veggie lentil soup. I enjoyed my visit today, and if you have some time please "visit" me in New England, we love company and new followers are always welcome!Ocean Breezes and Country Sneezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553409790617039932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-70802623155048660812010-11-05T10:11:05.507-04:002010-11-05T10:11:05.507-04:00Leaves are the best for our compost bins.

These were mostly oak leaves and thinner types. They'll be almost completely broken down by spring. <br /><br />Daphne, I took another neighbors leaves last year.

Divine stuff but takes a long time to get to the final stage. Our maple trees are just beginning to drop their leaves so around Thanksgiving I will probably be starting my annual rake and feed the compost piles process. <br /><br />Congratulations on your find (both the leaves and the individual with similar interests!).kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-87514092748630431842010-11-04T09:22:25.745-04:002010-11-04T09:22:25.745-04:00Denimflyz, it's good to be weird!

If they have been moulding on the trees during the summer... that mould can and will transfer to your garden.<br /><br />Which is why I use straw and simply mow my leaves and let them blow away in the wind.farmwifetwohttp://www.goodreads.com/fw2booksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-64597204121278630222010-11-04T08:40:30.061-04:002010-11-04T08:40:30.061-04:00Hear, Hear, for being weird.

I live in a trailer park where even the drug dealers shy away from me!<br />I get leaves,and all sorts of stuff for my compost bin and stack that I have way back in the lot where my modular sits.I rob the neighbor's lawn clipping bin before the garbage truck comes. Get leaves from the neighbor's trees. Get odd looks and I am told I'm totally nuts! Its doing pretty good.<br />Again, I salute you for being weird.denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.com
