26. We're expanding the garden this year.
I found the square foot gardening book at the bookstore last night. His website is really helpful (and free), too.

http://www.squarefootgardening.com /

Smaller, cheaper gardens that are easier to work in. Can't beat that.

I'm also trying to get our church's women's group to do a church canning project this summer. We can bring in produce and jars and stuff, and we can all work together (in the air conditioning :) ) to get it all put up and then divide it up equally. I'm hoping that we'd also be able to put some aside for our priest and his family (we really don't pay them enough, and they're poor) and our shut-ins.
