I'm a wife, teacher and mom of two who came by gardening accidentally in order to appease a fussy child in a big-box hardware store. He saw yellow pear tomatoes (his favorite color) and we became container gardeners.
As it goes with anything involving children, my interest far outlasted his and now we have a square foot garden in our corner yard.
As long as we can battle the bugs and keep the dog from the soil, we might have some fun.
Harvest:
2009 TOTAL ---- 136 lbs
2010 TOTAL ---- I stink. I gave up weighing.
===============================
The boy has eaten:
Spinach
Lettuce
Blueberry
Teeninesy radish bit. He chewed it, spit it out and then rinsed his mouth with water. It still counts.
Carrots - orange, white and purple
Zucchini
Beans - purple, green and Dragon Tongue
Okra
Cantaloupe
===============================
The girl has eaten:
carrot
Cantaloupe - smelled, licked, sucked on a slice, but ingestion is doubtful.

That must be some really good pesto!
ReplyDeleteHahahhaha, I just laughed out loud!
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's so funny.
ReplyDelete"Ribbit....please put the spoon down and step away from the pesto."
LOL! It's like one of those drugs that gets you hooked after one try!
ReplyDeleteGET THE RECIPE! Saw that the famed pesto wiz was not the kind reader that left a recipe. Maybe your homegrown basil was the reason it tasted so good!
ReplyDeleteNo, John's not the French teacher, but he is my hero for many reasons and I'd trust any recipe he gives. I'll ask the Frenchie on Monday, however.
ReplyDeletePesto! I only made rocket pesto this year, because I used all the basil to garnish curries!
ReplyDeleteIG, it's good to see you here. I love following your explioits.
