| I have always wanted to make my own salsa, and I | | | | also get some advice from friends that have small |

| that when my wife graduates and we find her a | | | | do it yourself store as well, since I will be headed |
| great job in a larger city. My plan is to start our own | | | | there anyway for seed and fertilizer.One question I |
| garden, and grow all the essential things I will need to | | | | will have is what kind of yield to expect? Once I |
| create original, authentic sauces, including bitingly hot, | | | | have my garden set up and ready to go, I need to |
| spicy salsa.I would really like to experiment with hot | | | | have some kind of idea on how much food will be |
| sauces like Louisiana style, Mexican, and Asian style | | | | grown in that area. Then I can prepare for it, and |
| sauces. In order to make a hot sauce with my | | | | when it is time to harvest the vegetables, I will have |
| garden, I needed to become familiar with the Scoville | | | | plenty of storage space for all the produce.After |
| scale that measures hotness. I also needed to | | | | harvesting, I will review some recipes for salsa. I'm |
| become extremely familiar with jalapenosI do not | | | | already a fairly good cook, so once I've learned a |
