The kids and I decided to try our hands at gardening a couple of months ago. We were determined to really make a go of it and work hard. We started with some basic herbs, cucumbers and tomatoes. The basil seems to be doing fine and we have five little cherry tomatoes growing...I really don't know who is more excited about our success, me or the kids! Since I really like to do as much organic as I can possibly afford, this was my way of trying to take a little off the grocery bill, and while we don't have that much yet, it is way cool to know that we are sort of on the way.

We started with organic seeds, potted with organic (composted) dirt and topped it off with organic fertilizer...so I am pleased with the prospect of having some organic basics right in my back yard! It looks like right now all we will be able to get out of it is some really good bruschetta!! since the only things really growing are the tomatoes and basil...but I'm still holding out for the cucumbers!

These are pictures of our first tomatoes. If you read the post about camping, there were three pictures way, way below that posting....don't know if you all got that far or not. I'm still trying to get the posting thing down.

I'm sure I will be blogging more about the garden endeavor, because it is sooo exciting!!

Ta Ta!!!
