Another Dreary Day

It's another dreary (and cold!) day here in upstate NY. It's 36 degrees and I would love for the sun to poke out from all the clouds. We had enough dreary days the last 3 or 4 months. I want the sun! I don't care how cold it is, as long as the sun is shining! We need a little nicer weather so that we can go get the garden ready for planting. We need to do quite a bit before we can plant so I hope it gets nice soon.

In our garden we are growing:

• broccoli


• lettuce


• onions


• spinach


• beans


• corn


• potatoes


• squash


• pumpkin


• carrots


• and even strawberries!!

Are you planting a garden this year? If so, what kinds of good fruits and veggies are you planting?

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.
