home grown.

a little garden update for you here.

first, as you can see, we've had some serious growing happening. our potato plants have taken over the entire garden.

well, at least they had taken over the entire garden. one day they all fell over. i guess they got too tall and just decided to lie down. so we had to pull them all up or else all our other plants would have been squished. so then the garden looked like this.
a lot more open room. too bad we didn't get a single potato from all those potato plants we pulled up. waamp waamp.

a few weeks ago, i found this little gem.

an itty bitty strawberry!

and i really mean itty bitty.

austin and i cut it in half and split it. it kinda tasted like dirt. but whatever. it was the first thing from our garden.

buuuut the most exciting part is that tonight austin and i picked lettuce from our garden and had a salad with spaghetti for dinner. i've never been more excited about lettuce in my life. oh, and spinach, too!

austin picking lettuce leaves for us.


we picked just the right amount for two little side salads for us!


yum! delicious home grown lettuces!

we've also got tiny tomatoes growing, bean plants taller than i am and corn coming up quickly, too! we've really got some green thumbs, don't we? let's just hope things keep growing well!
