Should I buy produce and can it?

We only have a very small piece of land to plant on. I would love to can but how? Would canning produce from the stores be a good idea? Any ideas?

Terri,

It is usually not cost effective to can produce from stores, unless there is a super sale.

You can get creative with the land that you do have. Some people in apartments plant their garden in containers and put them pots out on the balcony.

You might even find someone close by that will let you use a little piece of their ground to grow your garden.
