Homegrown Strawberries

Corey planted a couple strawberry plants last year and they've spread like crazy this year! They produced quite a few strawberries - big and sweet ones! The kids really enjoyed picking them in our own back yard!

Helping Daddy in the Garden

We couldn't keep her out!

(4/30/10)

By the way, we learned our lesson with planing a garden so early...we got snow in May and just about everything died.:/ Guess that's why most people wait till Memorial Day to plant!

Produce From Our Garden

I made spaghetti sauce with our tomatoes. I got about four quarts. Look forward to trying it! Still have some more tomatoes to pick, but I'm afraid the cold has been too much for them.:/

Veggies From Our Garden

We attempted a garden for the first time this year. Corey did all the work, even started composting! Our soil isn't the best, but our plants grew and we got some produce! It was pretty exciting when we started picking the fruits of our (his) labor! I've been freezing the zuccini and summer squash so we can saute it throughout the winter and I'm planning to try and make spaghetti sauce with our tomatoes. Our green peppers never grew so I bought a ton at the farmer's market and diced and sliced and put them into my freezer. I would like to do a lot more, but decided perhaps I should wait till my kids are slightly older before I do too much. And I might just run out of freezer room! Who would've thought!:)
