Gardening Skills

 We learned a few more things about our gardening skills this year.
  1. Compost is important and very beneficial!
  2. The back of our house makes things nice and hot for bell peppers and jalapenos.
  3. Egg shells to keep slugs out does not work!
  4. We cannot grow lettuce because of the slugs!
  5. Onions are easy to grow!
We are going to extend the garden section on the back of our house next year. We are also going to try some garden boxes on the fence to grow lettuce so the slugs can't get to them (hopefully). We had a pretty good yield but we learn more each year and apply it to the next year.
 
I really love growing my own food and canning it or eating it.
