Growth

For anyone who has been kind enough to keep up with this blog through the years, thank you! I'm working on some changes, and trying to get back in the groove. There's been a lot going, including but definitely not limited to, starting a garden! You can read more about that here. Here are some snapshots of what's happening in the yard.

My little seedlings are growing up

I took a seed starting class at a local store (read more about that here), and came home with a variety of planted seeds that I was desperately hoping would sprout. They did! 

While I waited on the seeds to make their appearance, my dad and husband helped me prep the (small) raised vegetable bed and the herb beds. If all goes according to plan, I will plant cucumber, squash, zucchini, lettuce, and several tomato plants. In the herb garden I will plant basil, chives, and thyme.

Thanks Dad! Full disclosure: He did most the work.

I did spread the soil out.

May babies are growing. So proud.

Sweet peppers

I like to make Zucchini Gratin with this!

The veggies are snug in their beds

This is my first go-round at vegetable gardening. So far, it hasn't been too labor intensive, and it's actually been fun to watch these little guys grow. I'm excited to grab fresh herbs and veggies from right in the yard. Do you garden? I would love to hear pointers from more seasoned gardeners!
