Garden Update:

Remember my garden from this post just but three weeks ago? Boy has it grown! I recently counted over 30+ roma tomatoes, four broccoli, three bell peppers and a cherry tomato! Add to that all of my greek and sweet italian basil, green onion and my bib lettuce and my garden is growing beautifully! The tomatoes are approximately 4 ft. tall now! That's crazy!

Last week I used some of my sweet italian basil on my chicken alfredo french bread pizzas, yesterday I passed on a good bit of lettuce to my aunt, and tonight I used some of the lettuce and green onion with our gorditas! And boy was it all yummy! I can't wait for my tomatoes to ripen! I still need to get some pics of my zucchini and yellow crook neck squash that we planted. Now I just wish I had some fruit. I really want some chives (still can't get those to grow, although I did grow some parsley that I need to transplant, as well as garlic to plant and more green onion), watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries and blueberries. I'm also really wishing I had a lemon tree. Seriously, it sounds dumb, but it's amazing how good it feels to have grown your own food and just to walk outside and get what you need! I wish I could do it with everything!

I am planning to try and figure out some good bread recipes and tortilla recipes as well. The more that I can learn to make on my own and not have to buy, the better. It feels amazing, and tastes delicious too!
