In this project, Vanessa White interviewed Harry White about gardening and canning what he grows. Ms. White had grown up around gardening and canning and once she was of a certain age, was allowed to take part in the preparing of the dirt, planting the seeds and harvesting the food. In this interview, Mr. White talks in specifics about what he plants, when he plants it, and how he takes care of the plants. He also talks about how he cans various of the vegetables that he grows.
