My dh loves gardening and each year I try to be more and more involved. If you want to see some things we’ve harvested last year you can check out our tomatoes (here and here), our pickles and relish and our carrots.
This year we are branching out, trying more vegetables that we tried in the past but that did not grow very well (squash and beans). The veggies we will be growing this year are listed below. I’ll probably be canning and pickling those marked (*). We will freeze those marked (**). Of course, we will eat lots of the product before it ever reaches the storage stage!
- corn**
- potatoes
- peas**
- cucumbers*
- tomatoes*&**
- spaghetti squash
- beans**
- onions
- carrots**
- beets *
I am so very excited to get into the garden this year. J has already tilled it up and has started hilling the raised beds. The weather has not been cooperating – cold and raining – but I know it won’t be long until we are digging in the ground. I can’t wait to help the kids grow some seeds too. The older the girls get the more they understand and the better their seedlings do.
Striving to learn and live God’s purposes,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. My CPAP should pick up now, I have one with variable pressure that compensates for mask leaks by upping the pressure a bit. The previous 4 nights I was trying out a humidifier but the hospital only have them on older models with set pressure, and I reckon my mask was leaking and I didn’t know.
Oooh and I forgot to say I like your list of veggies, we just don’t have the space to grow some of those.
And with that comment I really ought to get my shoes on and get out there before it starts raining again!
wow it’s nice to have the pictures for last year.
Yum!! We’ll have to see some photos of your garden! I don’t have a green thumb at all, but we’re trying to grow stuff every year. My daughter loves watering the plants, so she reminds me to do it.
Good for you with the garden….what a wonderful summer project.
how much space do you use. I want to have a big garden and learn to can 2. Loved the pic’s
