🍅Our tomato and jalapeño finally grew big enough to harvest for Salsa! 🍅 yes, I did mean to type tomato and jalapeño—singular 🤨 Those were the two buds we were able to shield from Isla’s little hands. Next summer we plan to have raised beds and tomato pots, and loads of salsa! These two vegetables are the first I’ve planted and grown as a grown up, and they were beautiful. Are you a seasoned pro at vegetable gardening? What are your tips for a beginner? I’m sure I need to start my plan this year in order to be ready to go in the spring. It always seems to creep up on me, which is why we have never started! But we have an acre, so there’s no reason not to grow some of our own food 🍅 Some veggies on my list for next summer are Tomatoes, Peppers, Lettuce, green onions, sweet potatoes, new potatoes, corn, zucchini, yellow squash (send all of your squash bug tips!), egg plant, and whatever other fun variations I can find.
