Tales from the Prepper Pantry

• Peachapalooza - jam city
• Out of jelly jars and low on canning jars and have not yet done beans, corn, dilly beans, green chilies or salsa
• Focused on eating through the freezer - still haven't done the summer audit
• JulyChallenge Update - chocolate rations story
  • Assessing weaknesses - bourbon, chocolate, snacks - not a true weakness
  • In-Season means in-season (Onion problem is not really a problem)
  • Paper supplies are mostly well managed but it is going to be close on some items
  • I do not plan my pet food well

What's in Season

• Jewel weed
• Red amaranth
  • Nother wild green that is packed with nutrient
  • Harvest young flowers to eat
  • Seeds are a grain that is gluten free
  • >>I always identify it when it is a bit late to eat the seeds but plan to cultivate a patch on my wild food hillside

Operation Independence

• 14 jars of peaches, 55 jars of jelly - $50 and a relaxing weekend of canning invested
