What's up everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast.

Anne from Real Hands of O.C. is back on the show. She's an urban homesteader, chicken owner, and her book, The Beginners Guide to Raising Chickens, is a really fantastic guide to doing just that, raising chicken.

So I highly recommend that you check it out.

We've been talking about chickens as well as some of her urban homestead plans.

And one of the things we mentioned was she's growing on this new terraced hillside

and her plan is to grow a ton of beans to dry them out in stores dry beans.

Obviously a great idea to have a little bit of a food stockpile, but and you know, you do a lot of preserving.

You know, last time I was at your house tons of different things from

edibles to medicinals etc and I'm really curious some of the techniques you have

for preserving a crop that's coming out right about now or maybe next month like a

classic summer crop. Oh classic summer crops that I like to preserve are number one

top of the list is tomatoes.

And then I think everyone loves cucumbers.

So I try to preserve some cucumbers and there's always just like different fruits that are coming in.

And I think in Southern California, we are fortunate to have a very long

season you know it's like spring summer it's like really long summer so we have a

lot of things that we can use and produce and preserve.
