Way to go, Bob!
Guess we'll be making salsa at your house this year, eh? since the farmers market is in your backyard?
i don't know, i have HIGH expectations of the Montrose FM this year :))
ha. but definitely. a "puttin' up" day will be in order, girl.
I am so jealous. I hate to be ungrateful for my backyard full of trees, but it would be so nice to have a little salsa garden. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get 40 tomato pots on my front porch, which is the only place that gets enough sun.
I have also planted
Basil
Cilantro
and have seeds for
Parsley
hey, i know...why don't YOU lead your neighborhood, and dig up YOUR front yard for a garden?
i'm sure the hub would love THAT.
i am kind of glad my old bushes are gone from the back, but the yard is pretty naked without them...thus, the planting of tall things :)
Our neighbors petitioned the HOA for some raised beds in their front yard last summer. It was a no-go.
thank goodness for SD, where i could raise hogs and chickens in the front yard if i so desired :)
Wow bob! I have purchased a handful of plants and planted my window box. I hope to tackle some today. K~
