Too Early??

Last night Larry and I planted our garden. We have planted a garden each year since we have lived in this house, 6 years. Gosh has it been that long. In a couple months we will be married 8 years. Where does the time go. Anyway, back to the garden. Our neighbor told us that she thought the ground might not be warm enough to plant, well we did it anyway. We planted 12 tomato plants, 8 pepper plants (2 different kinds), a row of red onions, two rows of carrots, one row of green onions (from the neighbor) and four broccoli plants. We have never had good luck with the broccoli but we still try each year.

I know some of you are probably wondering what I am going to do with all this stuff. Well I take the tomatoes, onions, and green peppers along with other ingredidents and make spaughetti sauce that I then can. The rest of the peppers will be chopped up and frozen for later use. This is the first year for the red and green onions so I am not sure what I will do with them. I blanch and freeze the carrots to use at a later date usually with roasts in the slow cooker or just steam them. If the broccoli turns out then we usually blanch and freeze that too. We have a vacuum sealer that works great for this. Lets hope for a growing garden this summer.
