WOW-what a garden! The Burnett's have worked hard to grow quite a prolific garden. When asked if her garden was a success this year Julie replied, "It Iis filled with successes and failures." Not everything grows every year. Some produce grows in abundance, while others struggle to survive. One things for sure a garden requires daily diligence, but according to the Burnett household, and our Prophet, it is worth the effort!
Canning your produce is one sure way to get the most out of your produce and to enjoy them far after the harvest is over.

72 Hour Kit

How often do your update your 72* kit? Does your teenager have diapers in his kit?
Here's a suggestion:
Pull it out when you are watching conference in the fall and spring. Update the clothes. Eat the food. (Then replace it with fresh food of course)
By munching on the food during conference, you will keep their fingers and mouths busy so everyone can enjoy LISTENING to the talks!
