Welcome to the July 28, 2008 edition of the Carnival of Home Preserving 3rd Edition! I’m honoured to be hosting this new and highly useful carnival this week! We just have a small garden this year, and since our season is so much later than most, we don’t have any produce that needs preserving yet! Thankfully though - there are ladies and gents are busy canning, freezing and drying already, and sharing their insights with us for our reading pleasure! Enjoy :).

Don’t forget to join Laura (the carnivals instigator) at Laura William’s Musings next week for another edition of the Carnival of Home Preserving! You can submit your articles to the carnival for inclusion next week here.
