Isn't that just a perfect garden? This is how I would like for my garden to look...eventually. Maybe when I am a little bit better at gardening. Like, when stuff actually grows and I don't kill it. I planted things about a month ago. Maybe a little less. Things like tomatoes, jalapenos, Brussels sprouts, rainbow chard, zucchini, carrots, lettuce, spinach, kale, peas, sweet peppers, basil and cilantro. Some of the things that I planted as plants are looking ok, but the things I tried to start from seed are disappointing me. I have friends who are already eating salads from their gardens, and they didn't plant much earlier than I did. Its the curse of my black thumb. But I won't give up. I will plant another garden this week if I have to. On a happier, plant-related note, my mom and I spent some time with the strawberry patch today and it is doing very well. Lots and lots of little green strawberries that will be ready to pick in the next few days or so.
And also related to food, Willa and I made these muffins the other day. She is a big fan of cracking the eggs when we bake together. The muffins were very tasty and incredibly easy, with common ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry. They don't require you to grow anything from a seed...Can you tell that I am a little frustrated with my own lack of gardening abilities?!?
