Speaking of enjoying the garden, we have been enjoying the fruits of my labour, literally as well.�Call me crazy, old-fasioned, a Martha-wannabe, or maybe I've read too much Michael Pollan lately, but I just love the fact that my kids go out in the backyard�every day and pick lettuce leaves, snap peas,�berries and tomatoes to snack on whenever they like.� Is that cool or what?�
The spinach and strawberries are finishing,
the raspberries and tomatoes are starting,
the snap peas really snap,
the carrot thinnings are delish,
and the scarlet runner beans and pumpkins are in blossom.
In fact, my little veggie patch has been so successful that it was no problem convincing my husband to dig up some of the back lawn to make more space for veggies next year!� Yay!
That is what I need, a designated veggie patch. I've been growing in containers.
