How Does Your Garden Grow

The last few weeks have maybe been some of the most crazy of my recent memory! I have a chronic habit of overextending myself! I've been busy with my thesis exhibition, writing my thesis paper, printing my wedding invitations, planning my wedding, moving, painting my apartment, decorating and planting a garden! But it has been fun. I love gardens! Someday I will have enough land to plant to my hearts content, but for now, Our tiny backyard will do. My neighbor and good friend Kate and I decided to split up our gardens and share the produce. So we have a good variety of veggies and yummies. We've got peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, arugula, cucumbers, squash, watermelon, and herbs galore. It will save us money in the long run, because I am constantly buying produce from the grocery store. My freezer is pretty much empty all the time because I just love eating fresh food. While I was planting my garden I was delighted to see that some of the "weeds" I was pulling were actually herbs that were already growing. Imagine the visual of me pulling weeds and then eating them to test if they were herbs! It was funny. Well 3/4 were herbs. So eating one weed wasn't too bad :) So we got a bonus of cilantro, chives and mint!
Now, I would like to introduce you to my neighbor, Felix. He is quite a cute and likable guy, he had just better stay away from my veggie babies! well, maybe I will share some with him, I do like the little guy a lot!

Also! Thanks Mom for coming out to my MFA thesis show! I had so much fun showing her Columbus, and eating some yummy food and of course looking at art! You are the best!!!
