Our Spring Garden Plans

I'm really excited for our garden this year because I plan on doing some canning/preserving to save on the cost of groceries since I received a 24 qt pressure canner for Christmas. Do you have any tried and true simple old-fashioned canning recipes? I would be very interested since this is my first year canning.

Here is the plan for our garden this year. We have an idea of how big we want the garden so the below is guesstimating.

--2 lbs each of Red potatoes and Yukon potatoes (first time planting -any tips?)

--at least a row of Golden wax beans

--at least a row of purple pod beans

--at least a row of trofeo green beans

--2-3 plants of Broccoli (from seed for first time - any tips?)

--8-10 plants of Cucumbers--1 bulb of Garlic (first time planting - any tips?)

--at least a row of Onions (we think these are from seeds and notlittle bulbs - any tips?)

--2-3 plants of green peppers

--1-2 plants of jalepeno peppers

--6-8 heads of Cabbage (from seed for first time - any tips?)

--4-6 plants of zucchini

--4-6 plants of squash

--3-4 plants of Roma tomatoes

--3-4 plants of Golden rave tomatoes (anybody ever can these type? they look like Roma's but are yellow)

--Pumpkins

Haven't fully decided on:

--Mustard/Turnip/or Collard Greens

--Lettuce (thinking of Buttercrunch and some others)

--peas

--herbs

--corn

We are also going to plant trees and berry bushes:

--2 Elderberry bushes - 1 York and 1 Nova (any advice on planting, growing, cultivating, and using elderberries? I am a firm believer in the medicinal value but also want to use it for everyday use.)

--1-2 blueberry bushes (semi-dwarf northland)

--2 McIntosh Apple trees

--2 Pixie Crunch apple trees

--2 Crisp-n-sweet pear trees

Blessings!
