I don't want to brag, but HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT'S GROWING IN OUR BACK YARD?
We're total amateurs when it comes to gardening. Purple thumbs all around. I've killed more houseplants than I care to confess to. But we persevere.
Like this year? We dutifully started our seedlings in early spring, just like you're supposed to. But then things got crazy and all of a sudden one day I looked up and they were all wilty and sad.
In early July, on a whim one day when everyone miraculously napped at the same time, I threw some seeds into dirt. They didn't look good. There's something to be said about the magic of spring…it's definitely the right time to plant. But our little seeds have slowly become plants, and just now, in the late days of summer we're beginning to see the fruits of our labor.
Birth announcements for my zucchini and corn forthcoming.
