Almost Gone- 1000 pounds of potatoes

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World

with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

As I sit here pressure canning potatoes for the first time I'm reminded I need to send a follow up to a few things from the wonderful expo we had this past weekend. The discounted ebook pricing ends the 28th so if your interested in step-by-step instructions and recipes for both canning & fermenting it's your time to grab these at the special price.

Back to the spuds- this is the first time I've had to pressure can potatoes, because folks guess what? We grew 1,000 pounds of potatoes last year!! What you say? Yes 'em we did, usually we do 500 lbs and we can keep up with eating and saving some to replant but not this past year, it was a gang buster year! Fertilizing and hilling are key and we proove that year after year. You can find out exactly how to plant, harvest and seed save from potatoes, so you NEVER have to grow potatoes again in my book Seed to Plate.

If you’ve been wanting a simple, confidence-building guide to:

• Safe water bath & pressure canning
• Fermenting basics
• Practical, real-life food preservation

You can grab each eBook for just $5 (normally $19). Each book is approx. 40 pages with step by step instructions + recipes!

Use code: EXPO26

I don’t plan to keep that price long — but I want everyone who’s ready to learn to have access.

Now let’s talk about what’s coming next…

Seed starting season is almost here.

I personally won’t begin starting seeds until mid-April (timing matters!), but now is the time to plan, prep supplies, and understand the process.

Inside my Heritage Legacy Membership, there’s a full class dedicated entirely to:

• Choosing the right seeds
• When to start what
• Lighting, watering, hardening off
• Avoiding the most common mistakes

If you want to feel confident before you even plant your first seed, that class is waiting for you inside the membership.

We are building skills step-by-step — not rushing, not overwhelming, just steady, capable growth.

I’m so grateful you’re here and learning alongside me.

More soon,

Laura

Laura Lawrence From Seed to Plate: Where Real Food Freedom Begins Hi friend, Spring is starting to wake up, and that means garden season is right around the corner. This is the time of year when many people start thinking about growing their own food — choosing seeds, planning garden beds, and imagining fresh vegetables coming straight from the garden. But I see many new gardeners make the same mistake every year… They jump in without a plan. A little preparation now can make the entire...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader If I could only tell you to grow one thing, it would be this: Beans. Simple. Humble. Magical beans. Why beans? • They grow quickly • They work in small spaces and containers • They feed your family fresh • They can be preserved for later • They even improve your soil while they grow They teach patience. They build confidence. They give you a visible harvest. Inside my free class, From Seed to Plate, I explain exactly...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I’m going to say this plainly: If you want a garden this year, now is the time to prepare. Not when the garden centers are packed. Not when everyone else is panic-buying tomato plants. Not after you’ve already missed your cool crop window. Right now. Because planting at the wrong time is one of the biggest reasons gardens fail. You need to know: • Your growing zone • What’s a cool season crop vs. warm • Proper depth...
