Fruits of my labor





The garden is producing food!!! Really, it shocks me every time I go out there. I have been eating the cherry tomatoes off the vine as soon as they are red (hence not many left for salad. Tonight though, I made a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and onion that came from my backyard! I even picked a carrot to see if they were ready. The onions were not big yet, but I just couldn't resist! I wish the two of you who read this lived closer because I have a TON of lettuce! I think I might try to bring some home in my suitcase in a couple for weeks! I know I am going over board, but I just never thought I could keep anything, that didn't cry when it needed food, alive!

I'm so impressed, Rach!

Yay, Rachel! It look great! I'm very impressed, and slightly jealous. My lettuce is only three inches tall! It's so satisfying to see something you planted actually grow, though, huh?

Wow Rachel - I wish we were closer too. Can't say there is too much growing in our yard, but I am completely inspired now!

The boys look so big! Apparently you know how to grow children too:)
