Blocker Boys On the Go!

     The garden we had this year was very small, and only had the basics for my kitchen in it.  The military transferred us right in the middle of prime planting season.  Between two kids, a husband, and household stuff there was no way i could plant a big garden. The good news is this year I will have plenty of time to prepare.


     I love having the ability to run out to the garden, and grab something for dinner.  It really is fun for me, and my two year old loves to go out with me.  As the end of garden season for area is coming to an end I am making up all kinds of things to freeze, can, or dry for the winter.  In a previous blog I made Pesto to store in the freezer.  My family loves pesto sauces, and really do not think that the batch I made will last us very long.  I will however hold off on using it until I just can not stand it any more.

     I have been daydreaming of the things I can plant next year.  There are so many things I want to plant. However there is only so much room.  I am trying to convince my hubby to make me a raised bed for more space.

• tomatoes
• bell peppers
• jalapenos
• spicy basil
• oregano
• thyme
• rosemary
• black eyed peas

• garlic
• onions
• eggplant
• squash 
• okra
• maybe some mint for a few mojitos

     Do you ever think of planting a garden?  What would you plant?  What are your favorite vegetables and herbs? Not sure you have the time. Just plant some herbs in pots, and place them near the door you typically leave the house from.  On your way out take a pitcher of water for the plants, and leave the pitcher on the porch.  Then just take the pitcher back inside with you on your way in.
