Mermeladas artesanales- Home-made Jams



I recently started making home-made jams to sell in local markets. Everyone that tasted them said it was so good that encouraged me to produce them for sale. It's been a lot of fun! My mom is also helping and we are getting ready to sell them at a local market.
It all started with my mom's big plant of loquats! The loquats jam is very yummy!
I also made blackberry jam and my mom made her specialty jam: A top secret recipe! Here's what they look like. Email me if you want to try them!!

Strawberries - Frutillas


The queens of my garden are the strawberries. They are so pretty and taste good too!

I have two plants. One I bought at the Flower Festival in Escobar and the other in a local market! The flower is pretty too!

Mis plantas de tomates



Back two months ago I had the idea of planting some tomatoes and peppers since my mom has a big piece of land. I'm learning a lot about gardening. It's been so much fun!. Here's what my garden looked like when I planted my first tomato plants.


Now they are all grown up! I've been taking classes through the "pro-huerta" program. I highly recommend the classes. People there are very knowledgeable and helpful.













Today I was so happy to see that one of my tomato plants has a little tomato! This is the first one! Wow! I can't wait to taste them!


Most of the tomatoes have flowers though!
