garden

A garden! Not just a garden, though, it's the garden belonging to me and Tom. This year we planned it out a bit more (well, significantly more) than last year. While it might not look like much now, it will soon be a fantastic space full of tasty vegetables, strawberries, and herbs. One of my favorite activities is to gaze longingly at the garden through a window, while sitting on a chair outside, or while passing by on my way out. I wish we had more space for a larger garden. I also wish more people had gardens. They are more beautiful than lawns and infinitely more productive.

Our garden will consist of three types of tomatoes, strawberries, beets, four colors of beans, two types of peppers, sage (my favorite herb), basil, cilantro, lettuce, onions, and garlic. Our strawberry plants are almost producing berries (hooray!). Last year we didn't have to many strawberries but I think this year will be more abundant since they have an earlier start and are well established.

Also, we planted a few flower pots on the stairs. Aren't they pretty?
