While I was out...

So...it turns out owning a home is time consuming. Like, VERY time consuming. There is a never ending "To Do" list, a yard that needs taking care of, stuff breaking, and my goal to have an organic vegetable garden to supply fresh produce. So know that in my absence, I haven't been slacking.

In fact, I've been working on sprouting seeds, researching, digging, tilling, and planting stuff in hopes for a bountiful harvest this summer. Fingers crossed!  So far, it's looking good:

These are my first crop of seedings, which are now pretty good size plants. I've got summer squash, straight neck squash, basil, and two kinds of lettuce in the shot above. I'm pretty darn proud of it, too! All the seeds I used are certified organic, and so are the soil and peat pots they're planted in. Not bad for the girl who managed to kill more than her share of plants in her lifetime, right?
