Time goes by so quickly. The last time I posted was in 2020. Now I only have one Spring quarter remaining before I graduate with a bachelor's in History, minoring in Family History/genealogy.
Since my last posting, much has happened in my personal life, married life, and business life. In my personal life, everything has been going really well. I'm working on my second flower garden and a vegetable garden. Last year we had a beautiful vegetable garden.
We had corn (yellow and white shoepeg), tomatoes (grape, cherry, early girl, beefsteak slicing), green peppers, cucumbers (for eating and making pickles), cabbage (my husbands favorite), yellow crookneck squash (my favorite), green beans (bush), white acre peas, purple hull peas, basil, oregano, marigolds (pest repellent), echinacea and sunflowers, long beans, watermelon, and sweet potatoes! My wonderful husband made the A-frames for the cucumbers and green beans. It was a 15 X 15 garden space; we put everything we could into that garden (blood, sweat, and dirty faces). Even though you can see the sweet potatoes, they are there. They grew under the A-frame in the back and spread their vines all over the garden. In October, after our beach vacation, we dug up the patch. We ended up having over thirty pounds of sweet potatoes, including two handfuls of slips for the 2022 growing season.
In our flower garden, I was still learning what would grow, what the ground didn't like, or was that what the flower didn't like? But with any of the flowers that did make it, they sure did make beautiful arrangements! 
This year 2022, we've doubled our little garden space to 30 X 30, which is 900 sq feet! I've got so many vegetables planned for this year, including what we had last year! The addition to this year's garden is asparagus, broccoli, sweet yellow onion, red onion, beets, and a couple of varieties of lettuce. This year's tomato varieties will also include my husband's favorite cherry tomatoes and several other more extensive types of hybrid tomatoes.
We packed (canned) and froze so many vegetables last year. We are still eating our green beans, green peppers, and white acre peas; only a few sweet potatoes are left. We primarily used the sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving and New Year in casseroles. So this year, we are doubling our potato patch by moving it to the side of the driveway. Making every space either have flowers or vegetables. We also gave several canned vegetables, heads of cabbage and bags, and bags of green beans and green peppers away. So, this year we will be doing the same.
