Garden update...

more tomatoes on the way...

We have tomatoes! Six! Six tomatoes that I have yet to kill...and our herbs aren't doing half bad either. Except for the basil, poor poor basil. Earlier it was being eaten by who knows what insect, now it is starting to look a bit hardier and trying to make a small comeback. Come on basil, you can do it!

baby cherry tomatoes!

Weekend gardening

Lately I have had a small break from painting, and have shifted into gardening. Last weekend was so beautiful (at least Saturday was), Derek and I couldn't resist beginning our first garden! Growing up, my grandparents always had a very large garden, and my parents usually kept a smaller one. You would think I would know lots and lots about it, but of course, I don't. This year I am committed to learning. We have an incredibly small starter garden to begin with...we will plant 2 kinds of tomatoes, lettuce, and a few herbs (basil, thyme, chives, etc.). See how it goes...I don't have the best track record for keeping plants alive.

How about you? Anyone planning on keeping a garden this year? If you have some advice, I'd gladly take it!
