Garden 'o' Love

Now those of you who know me know that I have the opposite of a green thumb...a purple pinkie? A few years ago Shane and I plonked down a large sum of money to grow what we named the "garden 'o' love" we nursed all of our plants from seeds and we spent a whole afternoon at his parents house planting the seedlings. We lived in Dover at the time and didn't have a yard of our own. Anyway, long story short...one frost came through and destroyed the whole garden.

I made a second attempt this year, but a very scaled back one. I planted parsley, basil and cherry tomatoes in pots. I am happy to say that they all grew and produced! I've even been able to freeze some of the parsley and basil to use in the winter time! The cherry tomatoes only produced about a dozen tomatoes, but I'm excited that they produced anything! It really boosted my self esteem to eat a tomato that I planted myself and I hope to do more gardening in the future.
