I went easier on the jalapenos this time until we figure out how it came out. My husband, our 12 y.o. daughter, and me love hot salsa. The rest of the family doesn’t count, LOL. We have a good crop of peppers so far, with more on the plants (we’ve got four plants out there). The tomatoes are nice and juicy, and the onions seem to have good flavor. We’ve managed to get some really big cucumbers with a good flavor so far. This is our first year of gardening, so we’re still learning. We don’t have much room for a large garden because we’re on a city lot, but we did a raised bed that seems to be working for us.

Homemade mustard? Now you’ve got my interest! I love me some spicy and honey mustard :)

Definitely the way to go when space is limited. Looks like you garden is going well. It only gets better as the soil gets better. Yeah for the easy mustard recipes don’t buy ground up mustard. Buy the seeds, soak 24 hours, blend the next day with added vinegar, salt, honey.
