If you want to preserve your harvest you might try freezing or
drying.  They're fairly easy and without the worry off botulism.
I know if you can properly you should have no problems. But it
seems like every years the rules get longer on that, so I've
never had the nerve to try it.  I do freeze a lot of veggies and
it's pretty easy.  I also bought a dehydrator a few years back
and have used that some. It's especially good with herbs.  Anyway
just a couple off alternatives to canning.
