I went out to the garden this evening and of the 12 mounds planted with banana fingerling potatoes, I can see the potato vegetation has come up through the dirt on 9 so far...yippee!
Some of Shannon's fondest childhood memories include preparing tomatoes for "the deep freeze", shelling peas and snapping beans from her grandparents' large garden, and picking blackberries to be made into cobbler that very afternoon. Last summer the satisfaction of harvesting delicious cantaloupe every other day from her own back yard hooked her on maintaining a food garden of her own. This year she hopes to step up production and force herself to learn more about freezing, canning and dehydrating!
