The Garden is Growing

Last year was our first attempt at planting a garden.  We did pretty well.  This year the garden has more than doubled itself.  I think James would till up the entire backyard if it were not for the girls.  We have already enjoyed lettuce and a copy strawberries. 




This year we are going to try our hand at canning.  I'm very excited about that.  I never did it as a child.  No one around me canned, either that or I never paid attention if they were.  Some friends at church gave us three boxes full of jars.  That was a blessing!  I'm not sure how many more we will need.  I guess we will have to wait and see once we start the whole process.  I am going to try to keep my eyes open at yard sales.
