How does your garden grow?

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,
