ball canning jars and fermented veggies

[Guest guest]

i just bought 2 dozen ball canning jars - a dozen of them with wide mouths.

OK, i want to ferment veggies over the next 6 weeks that i hope to last me

through a good portion of the winter. the growing season here in maine will

be ending soon and i want to take advantage of the delicious and nutritious

produce i get here. the idea of eating tasteless produce shipped in from CA

for the long maine winter is unappealing

so, for those of you experienced in fermenting veggies...about how long can

i expect them to last? i'm starting out tonight with kefirkraut (sauerkraut

made with kefir whey). any idea how long it will keep for? any suggestions

for fermented veggies that last a long time? i won't be able to get local

produce again until next june, unfortunately, so will ferment as much as i

can in the next month or so IF they will store well for a number of months.

thanks for any helpful hints!
