it's gardening season! here are some pictures of our yard as of last weekend. i can't wait to post some more once our tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers start growing. last year i canned beets, jalapenos, and applesauce, so this year i plan to make salsas and tomato sauces. and i have decided to try canning pickles as well. so i am on the look out for a really good dill pickle recipe (not from a book, from your grandma or someone else with special family recipes). nothing sweet. anyway, this first one is about half of our little vegetable 'plantlings' which were started inside in february.
