Feeling rather proud

[Brighteyes 237]

This spring this fat girl planted about 300 sq ft of veggie gardens. While most of it fed the neighborhood deer, I was able to harvest a lot of bell and hot peppers. Since it's time to breakdown the beds for winter I harvested the last of the peppers; 8 pounds worth. I spent the day roasting and canning them. I can't wait to use them in different recipes post op. I also already have a full bed of kale growing, with garlic and onions planted. Can't wait to use these things for a healthier lifestyle, not to mention having the added benefit of being active in my gardens. Thanks of letting me share.

That is so cool! You are really going to enjoy your own fresh produce.

Very cool indeed! I wish I had the space to plant my own veggies.

Good for you, you should be proud.

That's so awesome! I love gardening! Growing your own food is such a feeling of accomplishment and it's fun watching things grow over the summer. I wish I had the heat to do peppers- here in the the Pacific Northwest it's not gonna happen without a greenhouse. But I did get 3 huge Brussel Sprout plants.
