Spring is here

The kids and I are getting started on spring time. We had our garden tilled yesterday and are planning on putting in the carrots in the next few days. Our garden will have tomatoes, green peppers, jalapino peppers, green beans and carrots. (It's not a very big garden) We also sprayed our apple and pear trees the other day. We all love to take care of the fruit trees and garden as they grow. The girls and I do a lot of canning during the end of summer and early fall. Last year we canned salsa, tomato juice, stewed tomatoes and pears. This year we plan to can salsa, tomato juice, stewed tomatoes, green beans, carrots, apple sauce, apple pie in a jar and pears. The girls plan on taking some of the grown garden vegetables to show at the county fair this year. I will share the growth by putting pictures up as everything grows.
