A salsa garden.

Garden planning time is here.
The past few years of gardening I’ve been a little over eager, literally biting off more that we can chew. Yes, I confess. I’ve had a little obsession with tomatoes.
So this year, we simplify.
I’m gonna call it a salsa garden. All the proper salsa players will be present. Of course there will be goodness other than salsa created with fresh from the garden produce. But fresh salsa is definitely one of the things we all enjoy during the summer. There will certainly be a share of sauces and pesto churned out as well. Can’t complain about that that I suppose.
There’ll be tomatillos, tomatoes…
A variety of peppers and onion…
As well as our regular herb garden, with thyme, oregano, cilantro, to name a few.
Looking forward to see the basil pop up from all these seeds.
Yes, a salsa garden.
It’s basic. It’s functional. It’s manageable. Which is exactly what I need right now.
Plus, to add to the to-do list, we officially begin our journey into beekeeping. We have boxes to prepare, books to read, bees to pick up.
My hope is to keep our bees alive, eat salsa, and next year, maybe even enjoy some honey.
So, this year, less is best. It’s a must to find the ever elusive balance we all seem to struggle with. And in the process we’ll have some darn good salsa.
What garden plans do have have for this year?
Oh. My. The smallness of your streamlined plan is impressively large. I’m not a gardener (limited real estate) but I am looking forward to watching yours grow. {smile}
God Bless.
We are attempting a vegetable garden for the first time this year and I am pretty nervous. We also chose to start off with the salsa ingredients plus just a couple others. I’m a new follower of your blog and would love to read about more gardening tips!
Just curious – bees (actually) sound like a really fun and interesting hobby but out here not possible due to a large percentage of Africanized killer bees – none out your way?
I saw your title “Salsa garden” and guess what, I’m also planning an herb/tomato garden this year. I found two recipes- one for pico de guallo and the other for guacamole on Ree Drummond’s site. I’ll be planting ingredients to match up with those recipes. It’s still a little cool here in Oklahoma so I’ve got time to plan. *smile*
