Sign of Life

Hi,

I am still here… Admittedly, it has been quite a while since my last post. Since that point, my life has changed dramatically!! A few days after, we welcomed our little one to this world and he has been ruling our life ever since in the best, most unexpected way. More to follow soon….

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

My Gardening Attempts II

I thought it was about time to give another update on my gardening attempts. We had seeded our little dirt patch this year with quite a number of different things, hoping that maybe a couple or three would actually take. Well, guess what. All of a sudden, they all sprouted and not just in a skinny, dry, just here to make an appeareance kinda way. No, full bloom, turning the little dirt patch into a full grown jungle on a small scale.

Here is what came out of the ground:

• Peppers
• Heirloom tomatoes the size of softballs
• Cherry tomatoes
• Chamomile (well, that’s more like a flower / tea plant than a fruit plant)
• Parsley (boy, does it grow like a weed, or what?)
• Canteloupe melons
• Sweet corn

And today, we were able to harvest the first fruits of our labor. The peppers are delicious (the first one already volunteered for your BBQ this afternoon). I attached a small selection for your viewing pleasure.
