I just saw your post and love how much you love the weeds, the elementals, and letting nature take care of the land. I too am ruthless with the crabgrass as it suffocates everything. I grow so many flowers for the gardens and love to sit and let the spirits have a beautiful place to romp and enjoy. I have had so many little fairies and orbs show up in my photos over the years. One day, I was meditating on the porch and a fairy flew by me and said hello. It was the sweetest moment. Love your garden!
That means a lot to me @sunscape! How nice to hear someone else can sense fairies and spirits. I am a happy person, in large part because I am surrounded by many happy and helpful beings. My faves are the sylphs in the skies, more and more often now. They are needed.
So I've been pressure canning. Yesterday I used lids that I had bought at an Amish store, and three of the jars were not bubbling when I removed them from the canner. One of those didn't seal. Do you think the other two are safe? Of course, I don't know which is which now, silly me. I forgot to mark those two. erg.
