Getting back to seed starting and gardening after a 2 yr break.

spyfferoni · March 23, 2011

I haven't done very much gardening the past two summers. I haven't canned tomatoes or salsa the last two summers either. I planted a few tomatoes and peppers that I purchased but that was about it. Now I have 2 years of weeds to clean up! I really want to have a nice, big garden this year and do a lot of canning. I don't see that the gas prices are going to go down any time soon and I think food prices will be higher because of it. I'm a little late with my seed starting. I planned to get my peppers started last week, but it never happened. I'm going to do it today and also start some tomatoes and then some more in a couple of weeks. I'm just wondering how to get back into it with out feeling overwhelmed??? I'd forgotten how hard having a busy toddler is!!! It will be nice when school is out so my older kids can entertain her and I can get more done!
