Botanical Calling

So in anticipation of my cousin Clay seeing our house and yard for the first time I went out to check the garden. The day before I had eaten fresh green beans and seen HUGE green peppers on my landscape-architect cousin Nichole's gorgeous plants. Wouldn't you know it, amongst the weeds we had two huge zucchinis and many more blossoms, over a dozen healthy green tomatoes, progressing green onions and peas in the pod that I thought died months ago.

I guess 4 years of botany education plus 3 months of weeding neglect can still pay off!

I have said all along that next year I will focus on gardening instead of just plopping plants in the dirt. Now after a few meals of fresh cilantro & onions and seeing Nichole's low-key high-yield garden I am looking forward to it! Besides we are making good progress with that dern bathroom downstairs, with no more big remodels planned I will have a whole spring to dedicate to my botanical calling.
