watching our garden grow



we decided to try our hand at gardening... in an effort to grow our own food and be a bit greener.
the first day...








Almost a month later (June 9, photo below)... we have leaves.  lots and lots of green leaves.  the marigolds are keeping bunnies, large dogs and squirrels at bay for the moment!  and i hope to report at least one edible veg  this summer.





the herb garden is producing like crazy, and so far have made pesto from the basil and gazpacho from the epazote (Mexican spice) and cilantro. yum!  for those of you in the 314, swing on by for some herbs... lemon verbena, cilantro, sage, basil, parsley, it's yours for the pickin'
