My garden this year was amazing! I've never had so much success and had SO MUCH food. This year I decided to put down black plastic and punch holes for the seeds and plants. I LOVED not having so much weeding and the vegetables seemed to really like the heat. This year I did TOMATOES...which we are still eating. The cardboard box with newspaper really works. I also made a bunch of spaghetti sauce. ONIONS didn't do as well as last year because they were slightly over taken by everything else, but we still got a bunch. I also had ZUCCHINI and CROOKNECK coming out our ears. I made Raspberry Zucchini jam...it's pretty good. CUCUMBERS have never grown for me and I had a lot this time. Our CANTALOUPE was to die for, very yummy. WATERMELON was good, but not great, I don't know if we'll do it again. PEPPERS I was able to use a bunch and freeze some too. PUMPKINS did amazing. I had 12 orange pumpkins. I had way too much fun this year and I'm excited to see how it goes again next summer. I love not having to pay for produce and learning new things.

Woah you are a serious gardner! I really want a garden one day when we're not living in an apartment in the desert! haha But seriously nothing is better than fresh produce! Good work can't wait to hear what you've got growing next year!
Look at you go! Someday when I'm not in a rental I will give you a call so you can tell me how to do all of this. :-D
Jacqui: Thank you, THANK YOU for teh picture you took of my kids. That's one awesome camera you have. They gave me an 11x14 for Christmas. Walmart almsot wouldn't let her pick it up bz they said they needed a copywrite release bz it was a professional photograph! Anyway, thank you for taking it. It felt like Travis' spirit was here with us this Christmas when I saw the photograph.
