The Garden

I will admit that I had lofty aspirationd for my garden last summer. The kids and I were so excited to plant it and become little gardeners. We weeded it a bit and made some great zucchini bread. Then August rolled around and a little place called Silverwood School became more of a priority than the garden. All winter long I looked at the remains of my tomato plants still clinging to their cages. The brown corn stalks were a reminder that I was now living in Washington (not Iowa) and there was no way corn was going to grow in my garden.
The warm sunny weather over the weekend got me into the gardening mood yet again. This year I am more of a realist: pumpkins for Halloween, zucchinis for bread, a red pepper plant in honor of the kids' favorite veggie, and a basil plant because it smelled so good when I walked by it. :) Enjoy the pics of Emma the master gardener!
