First Blog and Gardening

Ok, so today I have hopefully figured out how to get this thing going! I'm sure I will learn as I go, so please bear with me if things get a little screwy.

I've been pretty busy planning this year's garden. I recently purchased and received some seeds through the mail. I will be trying out San Marzano tomatoes this year. We juice and can most of the tomatoes we grow and turn the juice into sauce later on. So this year, I thought why waste time and jars when I can just can the finished product. I also decided to grow some very different veggies this year.
Here's this year's list:

9. Okra
10. Zucchini
11. Beets

14. He Shi Ko Bunching Onions
15. Snow Peas
