This one is funny
O.k., you can ask my husband but a gardener I am not. Don’t get me wrong I love to plant flowers (however I tend to forget to water them). I love to look at gardening magazines and wish my yard could look like that, but I probably have the biggest black thumb of just about anybody I know. So for some reason, maybe the horrible economy, I have decided to start a vegetable and herb garden. I saw in a magazine how to build a raised garden and decided that this was the way to go. I convinced my husband to buy me some 4x8s and a whole lot of dirt. With a raised eyebrow, he was off to the home improvement store and returned with my requested list. After an afternoon of hammering and digging up lots of grass and putting down lots and lots of soil, it was built! I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to tell all my friends and neighbors what I had done. Yeah me! The next morning, after soccer games and what not, I was headed to the garden center in search of plants. I bought two tomato plants; one cherry and one beefsteak, two cucumbers, three hot banana peppers, a red pimento pepper (which I thought was a red bell pepper), 9 jalapenos (only because the came that way, trying to give some to neighbors), two basil, one flat leaf parsley, one curly leaf parsley, rosemary and cilantro. It didn’t take long to get it all planted and watered.
When I was all done, I stepped back and admired what I had done. Now I just have to sit back and watch it grow….. oh yeah, and water it too!
