Hi

Welcome, and I'll reply to the food things, for tips on growing your own food, I'd suggest getting an allotment, then finding the oldest and longest serving plot holder and just copy what they do. I like Real Seeds, they do a fab range of heritage seeds with goos guides. I am very interested in canning, but the price of the jars put me off, I use a 9 tray excaliber dehydrator instead, it will proccess vast volumes of food for long term storage very quickly, I have 7kg of potatoes drying now... Good luck
