What's on the menu...

The days are getting longer and we're getting closer to the last frost date! I've posted a countdown on the right, which would really only be helpful to gardeners in this growing region, but as the time ticks down, I'm getting more excited!

Since all of the seeds have been purchased, I figured I would you all know what's in store for this gardening season. Some of these items are already in the garden because they are perennial or can over-winter, but the majority will be started indoors.

I'm hoping for a very productive garden this year. As you can see, I have lots of tomatoes planned, but that also means (hopefully) lots of tomato sauce, salsa, etc. Only a few more weeks until the seeds can be started!
