Garden Beginnings & Hints of Spring

We have garden beginning and hints of spring all around our property. This year our garden has been increased to about four times the size of last year. We had a bountiful harvest last year and I thoroughly enjoyed canning the yummy fruits of our labor. This year I am hoping to have my mom here to help with the garden and canning activities. I will need all the help I can get with the expansion of my garden. In addition to the large plot, we are adding a glass greenhouse and a fenced run to protect our seedlings until they are large enough to be transplanted. I guess everyone is exploring ways to battle the economy woes, supplementing our food supply is our primary goal.
