grow.

how does your garden grow?!!

so it's been awhile since i have contributed to this blog and i'm sure bil has shaken his fists at me more than a few times. here i am. i can honestly say that i have enjoyed our garden tremendously. the feeling i get the minute i climb over the fence into our little piece of the world is that of pure bliss. watching our little plants thrive in the soil that has been lovingly tended (mostly by bil) is a very gratifying feeling. i enjoy our watering time together. each of us manned with a watering can we dutifully water our "assigned" veggies. annie owns those carrots i must say! perhaps our venture hasn't been 100% successful in produce it is most definitely successful in application. nothing is more satisfying than popping a tom into your mouth that you grew from seed, or slicing into a just picked cucumber still warm from the sun. i know we will be manned with more knowledge and information for our garden next year and i look forward to that. but for now.....i will just enjoy it for what it is. in the meantime, we are on the sidelines encouraging our tomatoes to turn red, coaxing our eggplants to get bigger and quietly cheering our brussell sprouts (which will be brilliant soon) - tomato sandwiches soon!!

i found this quick + easy cucumber/lemon/mint infused water recipe on pinterest. this one is minus the grated ginger which i think would add a much needed kick. but it's so very delicious. guess i need to grow a lemon tree next to really make it my own.
