Fresh Greens

Since I DID call this blog “Fresh Focus”, I should write about something fresh from time to time, dontcha think?
Well, I think I have a garden! I only think so because I have never in my life been able to care for plants properly. When the helper at the nursery says to me, “Oh, you can’t kill this plant”, I think, “Really?!”. Well, she just didn’t know me very well. I don’t deliberately set out to be a plant-killer…I’m just not great at caring for them. Maybe there is such a thing as too much water. I think I kill them with love. Anyway, back to the garden….

Marty and I decided it may be a good idea to plant some veggies in an unused 10×10 patch of yard. We eat lots of veggies and they tend to get pricey at times. I really thought this idea was a lark until I spotted a few leafy things popping up out of one row. Holy moley!! Could this be romaine? Then, a few rows over, I think there are a few zucchini sprouts coming up. If so, hello neighbors…you will be getting some of those…they grow like crazy. I think we actually have an herb that is coming in, too. Cilantro, maybe? I am so excited!! I think Marty is, too, because he came home last night with 2 new tomato plants, green beans and basil. Check out what we have growing…

If we can keep the kids and dog out of the garden, we may get lucky and have some fruitful plants this year. Maybe I should stay out of the garden, too….
