The bow is for you, Auntie KristyIn honor of Earth Day I thought I would share some pictures of my garden. I use this word very loosely because it is not a garden at all...more like some veggies and fruits Dave and I planted in pots. Hey, I had to start somewhere! We planted our garden on 4/13.
So, this is my first year gardening and I started very simple. After doing some research about gardening in the desert, Dave and I planted:
2 tomato plants
squash
and strawberries
I completely expect and accept this first season of gardening to be a crap shoot. Imagine my surprise when a week after my fruit and veggies were planted, I go out to water and find this:
Yes, this is a strawberry already blooming. Actually, there are four strawberries blooming. Imagine my excitement. I don't think blooming is the proper word to use, but whatever. I think the proper word is yielding.
Well, I'm off to make strawberry jam. Yes, you read right, make strawberry jam. No, not with my four fresh bloomin' strawberries.
Yes, I am a cook, baker, and gardener extraordinaire (insert sarcasm here).
