[QUOTE="Bob, post: 158122, member: 6893"] Yes Davey C. I have a fairly big garden every year. Like anyone it started small years ago and gets bigger and bigger each year. I challenge myself to try different things. Tomatoes, onions, peppers and corn are the norm, and over the years we have tried some crazy things. I remember one year we planted yard long cucumbers and they grow a yard long! This year we have squash, pumpkins, cantaloupes, carrots, cucumbers, watermelons, sunflowers, corn, snap peas, green beans, onions, several types of peppers and tomatoes. We can lots of items and try different ideas. I have made pickled green beans, some plain and some with hot peppers in them. We make our own pasta sauce, stew tomatoes, salsa, tomatoes juice, pickles of all kinds and canned green beans. I enjoy having my grandkids helping and we make a family affair out of it. Their mom and dad get involved as well as several neighbors help. Everyone shares the garden goodies. I have a few elderly neighbors I take goodies to and some young couples to try to get them interested in growing their own. It's a lot of work but very rewarding when you open a jar of something you grew and process for a meal. I'll post some pictures soon of the garden and watch for a few more videos we plan on doing.
