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.

New tomato
I am also trying to grow some herbs which I have started.
Parsley, Cilantro, Marjoram, Basil
Marjoram, Sage, Basil
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.
Eating what you grow is fun and healthy. The Square Foot Gardening Method is fun, easy, efficient gardening in a small space. This is where I will share my experiences and tips. Let the sowing and growing begin!

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!!!
