| I have always wanted to make my own salsa, | | | | some advice from friends that have small |
| and I anticipate in the next year or so I | | | | gardens. I suppose it would not hurt to visit |
| will be able to do that when my wife | | | | the local do it yourself store as well, since |
| graduates and we find her a great job in a | | | | I will be headed there anyway for seed and |
| larger city. My plan is to start our own | | | | fertilizer.One question I will have is what |
| garden, and grow all the essential things I | | | | kind of yield to expect? Once I have my |
| will need to create original, authentic | | | | garden set up and ready to go, I need to have |
| sauces, including bitingly hot, spicy salsa.I | | | | some kind of idea on how much food will be |
| would really like to experiment with hot | | | | grown in that area. Then I can prepare for |
| sauces like Louisiana style, Mexican, and | | | | it, and when it is time to harvest the |
| Asian style sauces. In order to make a hot | | | | vegetables, I will have plenty of storage |
| sauce with my garden, I needed to become | | | | space for all the produce.After harvesting, I |
| familiar with the Scoville scale that | | | | will review some recipes for salsa. I'm |
| measures hotness. I also needed to become | | | | already a fairly good cook, so once I've |
| extremely familiar with jalapenosI do not | | | | learned a recipe and it turns out well, then |
| know much about gardening, but the area where | | | | I will feel comfortable experimenting with |
| we live is very fertile, and there are lots | | | | different seasonings and combinations of |
| of people around who know how to do it, so I | | | | peppers. Afterwards, I can share my new, |
| can get some real pointers from them. My | | | | homegrown concoction with some friends, and |
| brother in law, as a matter of fact, comes | | | | if they like it than perhaps I will approach |
| from a family where the dad grew vegetables | | | | the local grocer. Salsa is definitely one of |
| in a huge backyard garden. They were always | | | | my favorite foods. Hot or mild, sweet, tangy, |
| giving us peppers, squash, onions, tomatoes, | | | | sour, it doesn't matter, I love it all.It |
| and all sorts of great vegetables that I knew | | | | will take some work, and I know there are |
| would work wonderfully in a salsa mix.So what | | | | some unexpected challenges coming my way with |
| I will need to do first is investigate about | | | | the idea of starting a garden, but I think it |
| home gardening, and find out which peppers | | | | will be worth it. I look forward to the |
| and other vegetables grow well in the area | | | | upcoming year and the prospect of learning |
| that we will be moving to. Then I will need | | | | how to start my own garden, harvest it, and |
| to decide how large I want the garden to be. | | | | create a delicious salsa that everyone will |
