There is nothing like fresh fruits and vegtables from your own garden. Fresh produce from the grocery store still not quite the same and if you've never experienced it you're missing out on a wonderful part of life. I just picked the second RED tomato out of our garden. I've already canned 11 pints of green beans and in a few short weeks I'll be doing tomato juice. Yes, I said "canning". In todays modern age it's an art that very few people practice, but I'm proud to have learned from my mom, who learned from her mom. It almost takes you back to a simpler time and a simpler life. And if we're really going to have two MORE kids it's the easiest way I know to save money! It cost pennies to grow a garden, and hundreds of dollars to buy what you would harvest at the grocery store. So, here's to homegrown!

hey!! I figured everything out and you made me teary this morning. From your very proud mom.
You need to teach me. Youknow I do have 6 kiddos!
Your garden looks great! Didn't know you canned. My grandmother and biological mother use to can to. I, however, cannot grow anything. I have the blackest thumb. LOL! I even buy silk plants for the house because I can't keep a real one alive for more than a week. :)
You make me proud to be your friend. Here's to homegrown!
