growing....growing

It's that time of the year where we start to plant a garden. We have started the seeds for our garden, but it's still a little to early to get them into the ground, sad isn't is? We also decided to do a herb garden this year in pots! This is the first time we've done this and I was really excited about the whole process. Now I need lots of recipes that call for fresh herbs because those are exactly the type I normally avoid. I can't wait for fresh vegetables from the garden this summer, yum!

a little over excited about the herbs

basil, thyme, oregano, mint, rosemary, sage & cilantro

I'm aware this may be more herbs than one might need so all you Rochester friends feel free to take what you need too!

Success!

We bought a small "green house" kit from home depot this year to get our garden started & so far it's worked nicely. The dirt expands with a few drops of water & is actually chopped coconut shells. It's fun to watch. John was laughing at me during all of this because I was like a little kid. Then he patted himself on the back for realizing it's stuff like this that will make him a cool dad--if I'm excited about it, surely our kids will be too.
