Bring on the sun!
Today Kaia and I planted a little 'garden'. I've never tried growing vegetables before, and with the exception of a few rather unsuccessful attempts at small, indoor, kitchen herb gardens, I don't have any experience with this so it will be a learning process for both of us. We planted tomatoes (which I think are supposed to be pretty easy to grow), some green onions (which I have recently grown to love and have started adding them to almost everything I cook), some peas (Kaia and Sabine love them), and some zucchini (the seed packet said they were easy to grow and someone once gave me a zucchini bread that was delicious). I'll probably pick up a few more types of veggies to try - suggestions are welcome! - but that's all we've started with for now. Hopefully we'll get some nice seedlings in the next few weeks then we'll ask Daddy to help us sort something out outside when the ground is drier.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the both of you, i know that gardening at home is the absolute best thing. I have always had a home garden and although not everything was successful, it certainly gave me the greatest feeling when i harvested what i had carefully planted and cared for. I am just preparing my garden at the moment with blood and bone and look to plant Spinach (one of my favorite greens, raw or steamed) in a week or two and have not decided as to what else i will plant. All the best to you both.
