Hi Nicholas! I am so glad that you enjoyed the weds class.:) It is always so good to hear that. I can't wait to see what you decide to do with permaculture!

Yes, I am sure we will see each other around for sure.
Got to thinking about your question regarding glass top ovens. They can be tricky for canning. I have only canned peaches on ours and in a boiling water bath-not a pressure cooker. It barely kept the water at a rolling boil for the peaches so not ideal for most canning. I don't think a pressure cooker would work on a glass top but I have never tested it. We plan on using an outdoor gas burner for canning in the future. Peaches do not take a lot of time, while whole tomatoes (not sauce) and other things do. Hope that helps, E
It was great meeting you too! My art right now goes in so many directions. I play around with Acrylics and pencil, do stuff geared toward children's books, and recently some off the wall stuff with digital. My more kid oriented and fine art can be found at www.cerowoodart.com. Have a great one! ~E

My husband and I kept bees in town 20 years ago until the domestic bees were taken over by the africanized bees. So sad, it was wonderful to have fresh honey and bees wax for quilting. They were so aggressive that we had to get rid of the hives. H...

I am going to be at the canning class too, hope to see you then!
Glad you enjoyed the class.
I really appreciate your positive feedback!
I add & update my lectures based on questions, comments, and emails received from folks attending.
We're waiting on approval from the Guild Committee for 2 new classes: Understanding Desert Soils, and an introduction to Biodynamics.
Send me an e-mail if you have any questions that I may answer for you. jim.muir@cox.net
Have a wonderful day!
