Deciding what to grow in your garden can be a stressful ordeal! If I could, I would just grow everything available and save seeds to have a never ending supply if delicious fruits and vegetables!

The problem that I have is space. We expand our gardens every year but never have enough room for everything I want to grow! 

I try to only grow things that we will eat all the time and can freeze or can for the colder months: tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, peas, beans, raspberries, strawberries, etc. 

This year I am going a little outside the box and growing lettuce! We eat at least one salad a day and go through so much lettuce, it seemed like a no brainer. You can’t freeze it or can it, but if it makes me eat more salad to keep up with it so it doesn’t get wasted, how bad can that be! It is also beautiful! I used it as a border around my pepper! It started coming up last week. I love the variety of colours and textures.
