Spring is here and with food prices going sky high, I'm taking a more proactive role in planning our garden. Usually I just let my hubby do it all and go along with whatever he decides to do. We worked together talking about options and produce we use on a regular basis.
We decided carrots and onions are low cost and we haven't had a great crop with them in the past, so we're skipping those for the garden.
We are going to plant tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cucumber, cantaloupe, garlic, rosemary and strawberries. The garlic and rosemary are mainly to keep pests out of our garden, but we'll use them in recipes as well. It will be our first time trying cantaloupe, a neighbor recommended it to us and said she grows them easily in her garden. Peppers and strawberries are another newer plant to us. We've tried them once before at our old house, but we decided to try again this year and see how it goes. This time we'll put the strawberries in pots to help keep them contained. We're also contemplating growing some raspberry bushes.
Hopefully things will grow well and we'll have some tasty produce later this summer!
