Garden Update




Things seem to be going well. I'm still amazed that putting seeds into soil can actually result in food. It seems so basic and yet so foreign. We've had quite a bit of rain and wind but everything looks ok. I see actual tomatoes on the vines and arugula that I can already eat. I have to force myself to actually USE the herbs instead of just letting them sit there. I feel like if I use them now I won't have any later. I have to convince myself this is not true. I planted basil and parsley from seed recently because I know I won't have enough from the transplants. When I use fresh herbs I use a LOT! Talia and I printed out pictures of vegetables, colored them, laminated them and attached popsicle sticks with medical tape to use as garden stakes. Hopefully they will last a while in spite of this strange and rainy weather.
