Here's to Good Starts!

Roma tomatoes, Japanese eggplants, pickling cucumbers, sweet basil, and parsley. Welcome to the Rubin Urban Farmstead. Your chicken sisters await your making home near their coop.

I'm getting excited, too. Dan and I had bought some seeds earlier and some of that stuff is working out (go radishes and kale!). Others are not (where are you, my gai lan and green onion friends?). It is our first garden after all.

I would like to do some canning this season. That's why I got the pickling cucumbers and the Romas (for sauce). It might be a lot of work. I just hope it will taste good. I suppose I can't go wrong with the Ball Blue Book of Preserving. They are time tested recipes.
