So far sow good

I know I disappeared for the winter but I just had so much going on. Yada yada yada.

Well
, my fall tomatoes grew well and produced a nice crop but the squash and peas were a bust. So I am trying a few new things this season. I actually have one of my tomato plants coming back. I added another tomato plant to the container. Oh and by the way, remember the Veggie Tomato Supports I used were just terrible. I am going to use something else this year. Just the plain cheap metal cages.

Rosemary

Here are the yellow pepper, red pepper, tomatoes, and lettuce I planted in the ground, yes I am trying the ground for these you heard right. I added some good soil, dolomite and fertilizer to the bed and planted my plants.

Puttin up

This is something I posted on another one of my blogs a few months ago. I also made fresh pasta sauce with all of the tomatoes I grew in the fall.

In my life I do alot of "Puttin' Up". This time I am "Puttin Up" in the old fashion sense of the phrase... storing food, canning, freezing and such. Since I like to cook I often need fresh red, yellow, and green peppers but only a small amount of each. I got tired of having to throw out the unused portions so now I buy a bunch, chop them up with onion, put them into these mini muffin pans. I then put the pans in the freezer to freeze them then take them out of the pans and put them into freezer bags. Now I alway have them ready to add to whatever I am making!!! Ta da!!!
