We are so excited to have a garden this year. This is the first house we have been in that we could grow a garden. It's exciting to think about planting things, we are planning to grow: corn, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, zucchini, pumpkins, radishes, carrotts, peas, green beans, lettuce, and some herbs. If we can find onion bulbs we'll start them as well.
We have been really looking at what Anna's doing and copying. The wheather can't seem to make up it's mind. It seems to want to snow one minute and then be windy and rainy the next. We have had several really nice days where it gets in the high 40's and is sunny but it's still to wet to do anything with the garden. Anna says that most likely we will be planting over Memorial weekend. We are super excited.
We have started our peppers and tomatoes and most of our herbs by seed and they are getting really big! I'm super excited to see them grow. We are trying to set money aside so that we can buy canning materials. I personally don't own a canner of any sort or any jars! So that is one of our goals this summer. We are planning on making some salsa, possibly some canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce. If we can find another freezer for a decent price we are talking about blanching alot of our veggies (peas, greenbeans, ect) and freezing them. I personally like frozen veggies to canned but I also haven't done this before either and so we will see what I actually do with them.
