My Garden

I fully realize that sometimes I say I am going to do things and I never actually follow through. So, do you remember when I talked about starting a garden? Well, I did it.

About a week and a half ago, I went into the basement and dug out a bunch of the pots that I had found. I dragged Matt to the garden center and we bought many plants, more pots and some soil to get us started. We bought a tomato plant, habanero peppers, chile peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, onions, cilantro, basil and strawberries.

So far, so good. I haven't killed anything yet and I've been really good about remembering to keep them watered. They've all grown considerably now that they're in bigger pots and their roots can spread out. (Though, I am slightly worried about my chile pepper plant. It is so little and it hasn't been growing nearly as much as all of the other plants.) All of the plants are getting plenty of sun on our back balcony. Now, I just can't wait for them to actually start to produce.

I am very excited to start enjoying some fresh salsa, as well as other deliciousness from my little garden!
