    Things Sprouting!!! Howbout for you?

    So far we've got mint, asparagus, snap peas, radishes, lettuce, and oregano. I think that's it. Can't wait to get the beans, squash, and tomatoes in, but that won't be until mid-May. Oh, almost forgot the blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. :plbb

    Baymule, yes, you can make pickles with them. My favorite is bread and butter pickles. We put up about 40 quarts of them last year. Yum!

    What we did this weekend

    I know 40 seems like a lot, but we have 5 in our immediate family who love it, then we have our neighbors up the road and both my parents and hubby's parents to share with, so I hope 40 does it!

    What we did this weekend

    So, I think I've mentioned on here previously that we have given up trying to plant veggies in the ground here. This weekend we took a bunch more of the chain link fencing we got from hubby's uncle and made another garden area. Then, we made and filled 2 more 4X8 raised planters in...
