"Growing up Amish, the eldest daughter in a family of seven, canning and
preserving were always a part of family life, a part of summertime that
went hand in hand with gardening. Now, as a mother of four growing boys
with a large garden, I still find canning and preserving a part of my
summer tradition. I love gardening, and preserving the beauty of my
garden is just another part of that tradition."
