Garden Update

We have now planted everything in our garden. (Yay!) We started most everything from seed except for a couple of jalapeno plants, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, a few storage onions and one cucumber. I am going to try and update as things grow, so we can have a good review of what we planted this year, so we'll know what worked and didn't work for next year. Here's what we've planted:
Row 4-parsley, basil, onion and jalapeno

Row 3- Pickling cucumber, okra, pole beans, jack pot zucchini, patty pan squash, chocolate peppermint and chocolate spearmint

Row 2- Pumpkin and Potatoes

Row 1- Tomatoes (roma, big beef, early girl and sweet 100) and Lettuce

Everything is looking good so far (fingers crossed), so hopefully we'll have a good harvest and I'll be able to can like crazy. My plans are to can the pumpkin, tomatoes and anything else I can think of. We will also definitely be pickling the cucumbers and okra (so yummy!). We are very excited and can't wait for our harvest!
