More from the garden and canning success

We planted potatoes, just to see what it was like. Kevin bought some from a nursery and we also planted some that we bought from Walmart but I took too long to use them as food. So we got two different kinds when we harvested. We had a variety of sizes and I have used most of the big ones. I guess we need to plant more next year. We also need to figure out how to store them so they will last longer.


Here is the homemade salsa that I made with the onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and jalapeno peppers from our garden. Pretty bland but it looks and smells good.


I also canned over ripe tomatoes and different kinds of beans (that we did not grow in our garden). I used the three jars in a recipe that my family really likes. It was fun to use stuff that I had canned. Next year I will try to can the tomatoes when they are still firm and maybe that will be better.
