A PERSONAL NOTE
I've been up to my elbows in jam this week. I've made strawberry, blueberry, peach, and jalapeno peach. (All of the specific recipes can be found in my book, The Prepper's Canning Guide.)
My jam was super-thrifty. I used my no-pectin method and preserved fruit I'd picked up at the end of the day at the farmer's market and off the last-day-of-sale aisle in the grocery store. Here's how to make jam without pectin. The jalapenos were courtesy of my patio garden.
We've had a lot of rain here, and between that, burning sun. It's pretty much killed off my once-thriving garden and I had to pull some dead plants yesterday. I had high hopes this year since I got everything in early, and I did manage to get some veggies here and there. The thing that did best in my containers was jalapeno peppers
followed by herbs, which are now hanging to dry.
With rain comes rainbows, like the one I grabbed a photo of recently. I think that's a good thing to remember for all of us as the situation around us feels like it's deteriorating.

It seems like everywhere I looked this week, I saw further evidence of the ongoing financial collapse of America, and actually the Western world. But I found some ways to take positive steps, too.
Here's what I've been reading, watching, and listening to this week.
Be sure to join me in the chat for the Survival Preppers' weekly live stream tonight at 7 Eastern. It's always a lot of fun! Go here to set your reminder.
From the garden, to the kitchen
counter, to the medicine cabinet, it's time to learn about everything herbs offer us!
Want to go beyond just using herbs and spices for food and start learning how to use them as home remedies and for preservation, too? My friends at Seeds for Generations have some great resources for that! Check it out!
