			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>   So you planted your garden this spring with the hopes of getting a meal or two from all of your hard work.  And based on your previous gardening experiences, that&#8217;s all you&#8217;ve come to expect.  Then viola&#8217;, mother nature blesses you with an overwhelming abundance.  Now what?</h3>
<h3>   Sharing your abundance only works to a point, Then your neighbors no longer answer their door, and your coworkers head the other direction when they see you.  You just can&#8217;t give it away.</h3>
<h3>     You&#8217;ve tried your luck marketing your excess harvest to local grocery stores and vegetable stands, to no avail.  When your garden comes in at the same time as everyone else, you&#8217;re out of luck.  Well, now you&#8217;re in a pickle so to speak, and still holding onto your veggies.</h3>
<h3>     You could try your own stand at the local Farmer&#8217;s Market.  However, unless this is something you truly enjoy, it&#8217;s time consuming.  If you&#8217;ve put in a large garden and have enough variety in produce, having a booth just might be the answer for you.</h3>
<h3>     Or you can prepare for the year ahead, by canning, freezing or dehydrating your harvest.  Preserving your harvest <span style="text-decoration: underline;">is not</span> a complicated process, in fact it&#8217;s relatively simple, if you can follow directions.  Download your free copy of the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="National Center for Home Food Preserving" href="http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/publications_usda.html" target="_blank">USDA Complete Guide to Canning</a></span>&#8221; to find out just how simple and rewarding preserving can be.</h3>
