Because we are impatient, we bought some potted tomatoes and herbs just to watch something grow. Every morning I put them outside and every evening they come back inside. I am very happy to say that some of the herbs have already doubled in size and the tomatoes are growing nicely too. Only a week and a half until planting-day arrives!
Along with our family co-op garden we will grow a few things here in our backyard. We eat too many tomatoes to rely on our co-op alone. Doesn't a fresh, garden tomato sound heavenly after months of grocery store yuckiness? And a bowl of fresh salsa sounds over-the-top good, if you ask me.
Our kitty has been getting in on the garden action. She likes to follow me outside to roll in the dirt and act all wild and crazy for a minute, until she realizes that she is much too delicate to be anything but a housecat. This is when she frantically scans the room for someone to rescue her by opening the door:
How are your garden plans coming along?
