WELL it is that time of the year again. I decided that this year I was going to plant a garden the size of Europe well needless to say that didn't happen. WHY you ask... Well because we live on a BUDGET (always brings me back to reality) and the tiller that was in the budget can't till through MOUNTAIN. Who would ever thought???? I KNOW of course my husband said it wouldn't BUT I couldn't let him be right and he was anyway. YES he is still reminding me of it too!
So my husband is a picky eater when it comes to veggies, no surprise he is from the Midwest they tend to stick to the "corn". I on the other hand LOVE veggies I will eat them all I haven't found one I don't like to eat. So this year I planted beets because I have fond memories of canning beets with my late father and my late granny as well as my mom and a few cousins and Aunts. Great summer memories sitting under the bodark tree cutting the ends off the beets and prepping them for canning. I also planted a few different kinds of carrots some short and sweet ones as well as long ones. I even planted summer squash ( NEVER heard it called that until I moved to the Midwest) zucchini, few different kinds of okra some short and some spineless great choices!! We also planted watermelon, cantaloupe and and lettuce. I honestly can't wait until it is ready for the pickings!!! OH I almost forgot I even planted a ton of tomato plants. I got like 5 different kinds meaning all 6 packs. I know I am nuts. But we use tomatoes all the time in spaghetti sauce, and my son will eat cherry tomatoes by the bucket!.
Happy gardening !
