And we still have to start some garlic and potatoes!! Eye-Carumba!! LOL I wasn't thinking of doing it quite this large my first year in the country but Scott kept finding seeds he thot we needed too so it has grown to this!! A total of 7 little starter greenhouses and a few 6 packs of peat pots with garden soil in them. I also got a small bag of plant-tone organic fertilizer but it won't touch most of the garden!! LOL It is a small bag!! LOL

We are thinking about using some of our moving money to purchase a cultivator too as it would come in handy for the garden and other things. But we shall see!! It would be a nice tool for future gardens, etc.

I am so excited about this! I told Scott we needed to invest in a side of beef too when we first got there so we would not have to worry about meat for a while. Then with this garden, shoot, we will be pretty close to being self sustaining already!! LOL We bought a new Food Saver to make everything air tight for storage too. We have an old one but the last time I used it before Scott came home from his cruise, it did not seal properly so things were not air tight. We bought the pretty stainless steel one to match our other appliances. I already have the three air tight containers too. They have a new square one you can get too so maybe one day we will have that too but it is not a high priority!! I am just glad to have a new Food Saver so we can better protect our frozen foods so they last longer!! Initial investment is high but it will save us mucho money in the long run! That is the way I feel about buying a side of beef from a butcher. Initial expense is high but it saves us money over time! So I hope we are able to do it. The less expense we have to have after he retires, the better off we are.
