Growin' Green - Part 2


LOOK! A Garden (and my garden guru) The only thing edible right now is the leafy veggies; arugula, spinach, buttercrunch. However, little flowers are blooming on the tomato plants, meaning the fruit can't be too far behind!



Brussels sprouts (ew) and broccoli!



Carrots!



Herbs! Basil, Italian Cilantro, and Parsley.. Potted herbs are a requirement in my life.



Thanks to my Dad and Mom for all the help they've done with the garden. When more of the plants start producing I will take some foodie photos, and maybe even post a couple recipes. I might actually get around to a good pickling post! Dill pickles are one of my favorite foods. Last year when we made some they didn't turn out as crunchy as I had hoped.. So we'll have to try again!

Ciao!

  1. Beautiful garden!

    I can't to have the time and money to take over my grandparents' garden (I probably won't have one of mine own for quite some time). I also can't wait to learn how to pickle things, make jam/jelly and various wines from fresh fruit/flowers!

    I hate dill pickles! :) I'm a sweet pickle kind of girl. But I do hope yours turn out this time!

  2. This is amazing, I'm jealous. I wish I had more space for my garden that was exposed to the sun. Unfortunately the majority of my yard is shaded
