Me: "Let's do this thing!"
John: "Who are you and what did you do with my wife?
Seriously. He is not kidding. We have only been discussing this garden since we moved into the house in 2001. We can't even decide where to hang baby pictures of Olivia in the house. For. the. last. four. years.
We visited many places including Lowe's, Home Depot, and finally the Co-Op. The Co-Op was Olivia's favorite. It had baby chicks for sale and a slide.
Get Ready....Get so.....GO!
Whhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
We bought a raised bed as we don't know how to 'cultivate' the crappy soil we have. It was fairly easy and even I stepped in to help build it. Again, John: "Who are you and what did you do with my wife?"
"Seriously. Where is my wife?"
We built the bed and then planted our veggies, herbs and flowers. There is Rosemary, Lavender, Onions, Shallots, Garlic, Brocolli, Bell Peppers, Romaine Lettuce, Iceburg Lettuce, Spinach, Cucumbers and Tomatoes. Then we watered it. Then we prayed. Then we waited. Water, pray, wait. Water, pray, wait.
water, pray, wait
water, pray, wait
While we watered, prayed and waited, Olivia got in on the action and planted some flowers. What a joy to see her get her pretty litty hands dirty. Pretty cool stuff.
And, after lots of watering, praying and waiting...something sprouted. Lots of things sprouted.
brokkoli. cavolo broccoli. brassica oleracea var. italica. broccoli.
Pretty, isn't it?
