    Harvest time

    August 18, 2009 - By 

    Once again, I ate the first of them before even thinking of taking a photo.

    I love my little container garden. It’s so awesome to just step outside to collect fresh herbs for my recipes.

    Next year I hope to have a small garden next to our shed. Then I can try growing new veggies.

    My container garden

    These are a few of my herb plants.

    They were started in yogurt cups on my grow cart in the late spring.

    As were these yellow pear shaped tomatoes from saved seeds from last season.


    I also saved marigold seeds about 6 years ago…who knew they’d still grow!

    I have more flowers in pots and in the ground here and there but these I am most proud of since I propagated them myself.

    A short hike from my house was a fantastic garage sale. I may go back without the kids so I can pour over the items at my leisure.

    The boy scored a soccer ball for one thin dime.
