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.
