There Be Giants!

June 12, 2015 By lpilewski

Went out to the garden on Tuesday to check in and saw two zucchini – normal size. It was raining, so I figured, I’d get them tomorrow. No problem. Well, it turned out that it was no problem, but they turned into giants overnight! Each was almost 2 pounds!

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!
