Lookie What We Did!!!

We Love Spring!


From Homemade Jelly to planting our little garden, we worked hard today! There is no jelly like Grandma's jelly and every year I try and try to make her strawberry jelly. I still haven't got it right yet, but I won't give up! I can't seem to figure out how to get the actual berries to disperse throughout the jar, my berries stay on the top...but it does taste oh SO good!!! And our garden, we are a little late getting ours planted due to our spring break beach trip! Last year was our first attempt at a garden and we planted all kinds of goodies...only to produce successful edible tomatoes. All the other veggies didn't quite grow or taste very good. This year we will probably keep it small, so far we have planted several tomatoes bushes and just a few cucumbers and zucchinis. I think we will refrain from planting the melons and berries this year, but may add a few more veggies and an herb or two!

Good luck, nothing like fresh veggies out of your own garden. Kids look so cute.
