I'm so excited about not having to spend money on a whole batch of cilantro from the store. Now all we need to do is go outside and pick a few leaves off. So fun!
We're trying our hand at some bell peppers too.

Our Garden
Justin and I decided to try out hand at a vegetable garden this year. Admittedly, we have absolutely no idea what we are doing but we are having a grand time trying to figure things out. We opted to plant a few Bonnie Plants simply because it seemed like a good, hearty, trusted name ;). Truth is these plants are stinking awesome and all you gotta do is plop them in, directly in the biodegratable pot they come in, and they just take off.

Our cukes are taking off. Unfortunately the little neighborhood critters seem especially attracted to these little guys. I hope we'll actually get to eat some of this vegetation when it pops up before the squirrels, birds, and kitties get to them.

Here's the first sign of our maters popping through! I think our Somali neighbors are just as, if not more excited than us about our these little guys. Can't wait to share some of these with our friends.

And last but not least, peppermint. Just in time to put into a nice tall glass of ice tea.

Wow, I am impressed. I think next year you should add basil. It grows well. Would you like some day lilies from our garden? They are finished for this year but would be a beautiful addition for next year. Let me know. My garden started as a "borrowed" garden. My Uncle Bill and some friends would split their plants and give some to us. I am constantly giving plants to others. It is a great way to add to your garden.
