Stir Fry Dreams

I’m dreaming of stir fry recently and it looks like I’ll get my wish this week. Take a look at this Bok Choy! It’s going to be chopped up and in a meal soon.

Greens are coming along as well. We’re going to be featuring an arugula salad this week too!

Tomatoes and peppers seeds are in as are butternut squash, Noir de Carmes melon and Bradford watermelon. Note the return of the rubber snake to repel chipmunks!

Next, I want to introduce our garden helper Thomas. He helps by laying on his back and asking for tummy rubs. He is very well behaved and never does the “bear claw”. He is fastidious though and inspects all planting to make sure it meets his standards. Thankfully, he does not confuse the garden with a litter box!

Finally, our other garden guard – meet Robin. She’s nesting a few feet away on top of a rain gutter downspout. She’s very friendly, not shy at all and not aggressive over her nest. She’s looking forward to the butternut squash growing on her tunnel frame.

In the Beginning

vegetables

Welcome! Follow along with me as I try gardening for the first time! My grandfather and mother are both amazing gardeners who could grow anything. Grapefruit, oranges, lemons, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, flowers, figs, mangoes, papayas – nothing seemed to wither on the vine.

Then there is me.  I’ve never had success with plants, but that is going to change this summer!  The picture above is what I see in my mind. I’m hoping that my kitchen counter will look like this. (OK, not the mushrooms, but you get the idea).

I intend to detail the journey here on a weekly basis. We’ll have to wait to see how my garden grows. Hope you stick around!
