At Sam's club I found the most amazing thing. I raised garden container. It's made of recycled materials, and is only 3.5' by 7'. It's 8 inches high, but can be doubled to be 16 inches. I thought it had a bottom, but it doesn't. So..... I will build a base. I have the idea that I will get some cinder blocks, and a large plywood board. I will put the board on top of the blocks and the garden stacked two, on top of that. Some garden fabric liner and then the dirt. It would make it about 24 inches high which should make it perfect for me to garden in.
I've been checking out all sorts of stuff for the garden. I want tomatoes and peppers. We eat a lot of those when we can. Plus I want to can some again this year. I want zucchini and cucumbers and some cantaloupe. It's like to try potatoes and onions and garlic as well. I need to put in some raspberries bushes and STRAWBERRIES! I need strawberries. LOL.
I want to can stuff this year. I want to can the cherries on my tree, the tomatoes from my garden and the peppers. I want to buy a bushel of peaches and can those. I really want to make Beet Jelly as well, but I have to find my dad's recipe first. (hahaha you should see my garage, where i am pretty sure the recipe books are all hiding).
I'm so excited to get started, but I have to wait at least another month. Wish me luck on this adventure.
