\"\"<\/a>basil.
my favorite fresh herb to cook with (probably the only fresh herb i have cooked with)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>zucchini.
my zucchini plant hasn’t been doing too great. this is my only zucchini that has grown. when i transplanted this from a pot to the ground, i don’t think i got it in the ground good enough. oh-well at least i will have one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>roma tomato.
obviously not ripe yet but there are for nice sized ones to choose from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>bell pepper.
i love bell peppers. fortunately this plant was happy and there are like 8 or 9 growing pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>this is jackson’s sunflower.
he planted a little sunflower seed in an egg carton at preschool and this is what it has become. i think he planted it way back in april or may but this little sucker has hung on quite well. today is the first day that it opened but it is a good two feet tall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>i thought i would try gardening this year. i really don’t know what i am doing but most of my plants are producing for me anyway. i just thought i would document them just in case i ever feel like i am not a very good homemaker. i mean come on, i grew my very own vegetables and herbs. i am sure most of you are thinking, “what’s the big deal?” well, this kind of thing just wasn’t done in my home growing up. we just weren’t the gardening kind of people. actually, i did try to keep a cactus once but killed it by over watering it! i obviously didn’t know what i was doing. well when we lived in spokane, steven’s family had\/has this huge garden every summer and it was the most awesome thing. all i had to do was walk into my backyard and i had my pick of zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, corn, basil, pumpkins, green beans and i am sure there is much more that i am forgetting. i was able to watch them a bit and thought i would give it a try. i love walking outside every day and seeing how much my plants are growing, it is very satisfying.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
