More to come as time advances, but this girl is stepping up her cooking game this year! I’m a farmer’s daughter who has planted before, but it has been a few years. My husband I just played in the dirt planting Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, oregano and cilantro. We still have some basil and cucumbers left to plant. I’m looking forward to fried green tomatoes, fresh salsa, sundried tomatoes and marinara made with home grown tomatoes! If you have never planted a garden, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s not just the effort, the vegetables truly taste like NOTHING you’ve had before!!! You just can get tomatoes, whether farm fresh or from the grocery store, that taste like home grown! There are so many uses that you can never have too many. You can make sundried tomatoes and marinara and freeze for later use.
Wow we made a mess though! And I’ve washed my hands 3 times and still have dirt under my nails. It will all be worth it though! I can just imagine how wonderful the marinara sauce will be!!! You know you’ll hear more from me about that!!!

How wonderful. This will be fun for you. I always think about gardening but don’t get around to it. Fried green tomatoes are the best!

I used to have a large garden section in my backyard, but it got sacrificed for an above ground pool. I love my pool too, but I missed having the garden!

Thanks! It was a mess, but my hubby cleaned up after me! This is nothing really. I used to have a whole section of the yard with several rows of various vegetables. They really do taste so much better when you grow them at home, especially the tomatoes.

I am afraid of insects so I have never tried.

Bugs don’t bother me too much. I was raised putting my own worm on a hook and cleaning fish, so bugs are nothing after that. Now the day I find a snake in my garden, I will turn it over to someone else!!!

I work in a lock down psych ward and spent many years in the South Bronx nonplussed. Get me around snakes, bugs and creepy crawly things, and I scream.
