Gardening,

We've been trying to get the garden ready for planting and we should be ready to plant this week. yesterday we went and got the stuff for the fencing and hubby and his uncle worked on it yesterday and today. Once the fencing is up we have to get some rocks out of the garden (and wow there is whole lot of rocks in that one section) and then we can plant.

I made a double batch of tuna casserole last week and froze half. Since the guys are up there slaving away, I don't have an opportunity to be in the kitchen (the kids, especially the little guy, get into stuff). So I popped the frozen casserole in the oven to defrost and cook. It should be done soon. I will have to share later me recipe for making tuna casserole with a white sauce.

Tonight I need to cook up several pounds of meat and freeze them. I also need to cut up onions and peppers and get those froze. I do this so that dinner time is easier and quicker.

I am not sure how much time I will have to post on here in the next 2 weeks. This week is the last week of classes and I have a big programming assignment due on Thursday. Then next week I have an exam on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then I am done. So I will be busy busy busy!!

Ok. Off to check on my casserole. Leave me a comment.

Planted Tomato and Pepper Seeds

Since we aren't able to get our house put on our land, we decided that we could still use some of our land to plant a garden. We have bought quite a few seeds, along with onion root and strawberry root. We are hoping that the veggies will do well and we will have tons of food to can and freeze. Of course, I will need to learn how to freeze fresh veggies and get some type of canner.

Yesterday, my husband and two year old daughter planted a bunch of tomatoes and peppers in containers. We will be keeping them inside until it's warm enough to put them in the ground. My daughter had a lot of fun helping daddy. We are going to be getting the area ready for planting just as soon as the weather is nice again.
