Seems like every summer I start out with great plans for a new type of garden or a different planting of shrubs, but then reality rears its ugly head and it dawns on me that summer is non stop cooking, cleaning, answering the phone, etc. The fact is, we have a hard time keeping up with gardens we already have! The more the gardens produce, the more work gets added to the already busy days. Lots of berries, tomatoes and peppers means lots of jam and sauces to be put up in jars and sold in the gift shop.
