Fresh from my front yard.
It's nice when you can walk outside and pick up lunch on the way from the mailbox. There is romaine, bok choy and some various lettuces (arugula and something else I think, I can't remember what I planted).
These little guys were ready to go. It's not much but it is a start. The front guy is a teeny zucchini that was getting stunted underneath the rapidly growing plant. The strawberry got gobbled up by Max. The broccoli and tomato will join the greens above. I had hoped for a few snap peas but it's getting too hot and the zucchini is taking over their spot. The other snap peas that are in a pot got dug up by Leeloo. Naughty dog but I still love her.
For those of you that are new to the blog last year was a disaster in the garden. I didn't even get what I harvested today during the entire year. Blight prevailed on everything. Harvesting from my own patch of Earth is more fulfilling that I thought it'd be.
There is something...connective about filling bellies I care about with stuff I grew. It seems much more nourishing and filling. Something just plain out right about it all.
I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

My little pepper plant has a pepper...and one of my tomato plants has a little green tomater!!! Of course this made me think of you...I can't WAIT until there's more...I'm craving fried green tomatoes!
You could buy a thousand pints of tomatoes at the store but that one little one you grow holds so much more doesn't it? Funny, that.
congrats on your veggies!!!
