A new thing I’m trying out. Each week I save all of our vegetable scraps and keep them in a container in the fridge. Normally I put them in the compost.
Sometimes I also pre-cut some vegetables so that they are ready to use during the week and the scraps go directly in the pot. I just add water and cook for a few hours. It’s made the best vegetable stock!
Ingredients = anything and everything

I planted 4 mounds of pumpkins last week. The name escapes me but it’s the kind that will make pumpkin pie. Yum! All seedlings are up.

Bibb lettuce picture from last year. I grow them in flower boxes on our deck. As long as I stagger the plantings I’m able to eat home grown salads during the spring & early summer.

Just built my trellis for the sugar snap peas. I feel so handy! I planted the seeds directly in the garden on April 6th.
