I will start out with an update on future food, my experiment with growing vegetables. I think the last time I attempted to grow veg it was carrots, and I was probably about 8. The carrots were a disappointment, puny and bitter, and convinced me that I did not have a green thumb. Living in the Pacific Northwest has given me hope, seeing as everything I've stuck in the ground seems to flourish.
This is the garden just under a month ago
And this is the garden today
As you can see things are going well for my little 3x5 patch. In fact, bolstered by the success I decided to add a few containers on the side of the house.
I planted a couple heirloom tomato plants, some French Lavender (I'm sure it will take over the pot, but hopefully not until after harvest) and a pepper plant. I also sprinkled in a some lettuce seed, which I am planting in various spots around the yard on two week intervals.Hopefully all of this will eventually become fodder for recipe posts...
