Gardening Anyone?

Yes....March is the perfect time to think about starting a garden. You can start plants from seed inside your home, place them in a nice sunny spot, and watch them grow!! By the end of April or so they’ll be ready to plant outside.

What does this have to do with Food Storage? The produce you can grow from your own garden can later be used in canning, freezing, and dehydrating AND it is so much cheaper to do so!!

Here are some that are fairly easy to grow and preserve well:

Herbs like Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Chives, Rosemary, Dill
Tomatoes, Beans, Peas, Peppers, Carrots, Onions
