Hi, I’m Jill! I’m a vegetable gardener who loves helping others grow their own food 💜💚

Mini-bells are so cute!

Does anyone have any fun ways to preserve them? I’m thinking about creating a spicy pickled pepper blend.

I’d love to hear some other ideas if you’d like to share 🙂🫑

It’s jammed in there pretty good! 🍅

I hope the birds enjoy this beauty!

Canned some more salsa yesterday. We go through a lot over the winter!

Does anyone have a favorite salsa recipe they are willing to share?
We’re trying out a bunch this year until we find the ✨perfect✨ one!

I don’t mind being in the kitchen at 10pm if I’m doing this!

The sauce will be canned tomorrow & I’m hoping to can some potatoes too!

Good food - no garbage 💜💚

I love harvest time! All of the time, sweat, and hard work is so worth it!

Best to collect these before the birds take one bite and leave the rest to rot! I don’t mind sharing but geez! 😂🍅

The pepperoncini plants are full of peppers!

Sooooooo…..now what do I do with them? 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

This is my 1st year growing this variety ~ I welcome any harvesting tips and recipes you have to share 💜

Fresh pesto for dinner tonight! Whatever we don’t use will get frozen in ice cube trays and stored for future use. A cube or two makes for a quick meal!

Experiencing a teeny tiny seed germinate, grow into a seedling, then into a plant with flowers which grow into fruits will always be miraculous in my eyes - no matter how many thousands of seeds I sow 💜💚

Garlic is trimmed & ready for storage. This is the 1st time I’ve grown using the previous years harvest ~ I’m happy with the results 🙂💜🧄

I spent the day cleaning up our garden. It needed it!

It’s almost completely weeded & tidy ~ hoping to finish tomorrow. A weeded garden is like a freshly swept floor 🙂

I even spent time tending to the chamomile that was in desperate need of some love 💜

Canning season has officially started! Not that it ever ended 😂

The kitchen smells of vinegar and dill ~ yum!

I spotted our 1st ripe tomato today!

It’s a Red Racer, a variety I’ve never grown before.

I love this time of year!! 🍅

I’m so excited for fresh blueberries!

This is the first year they have been properly covered and the birds are angry about that! 😂
