No clue. Am in the plains of Kansas in zone 6b. If I were you, I'd buy a cheap bag of whole wheat or oats from your feed store, rake up a small area this spring and plant some seed. Run a sprinkle on it daily to start, unless it rains. Just don't get red wheat, that's winter wheat...planted now and harvested in the spring. I bet you can get wheat to grow, maybe oats and alfalfa. Just in patches and not big fields. Maybe try milo seed if you can find it. Back in New Mexico, we grew our "lawn" out of wheat seed on an acre lot. We were in the desert, minimal rainfall, some shade. Had to water it. But it was great feed for the fowl and the meat rabbits. That was zone 5 desert.
I wish! We don’t wear top hats and bonnets either
in the cellars, that’s why we have no room for prepsWhat? Where do all the servants stay?
Found out today that applesauce in the metal cans (I'm sure it's most acidic fruit) does not store well. I opened 4 cans and all were inedible. Maybe in a glass jar would last longer.
And pineapple juiceCans are a poor storage for acidic products. Glass is better.
Wayback in the olden days a a grocery store clerk in high school, I saw some pretty horrendous examples. Tomatoes, applesauce are one thing I say the year shelf life is max in a can.
Glass is better for anything. But, it the cans are painted on the inside and not just left blank, also the acidic things will store well. Buy a can, open it to see if the inside is silver (tin) or white (painted) and then buy your supplies...Cans are a poor storage for acidic products. Glass is better.
