Savvy Garden

Somehow in the last week, our garden has exploded into a lush, leafy jungle! I think we’ve had the perfect balance of sun + rain for our plants.

But look! I don’t need to pick up any zucchini or spinach at the Farmer’s Market this week–we can pick our own now!

I have an exciting recipe to experiment with using our Apple Mint (left) and Chocolate Mint (right)!

Our once wilting cilantro/coriander plant is now thriving.

Oooh! Sooo exciting!! I’m jealous of your garden! Even though the farmer’s market is super exciting! I’d much rather pick vegetables straight from my backyard!

Happy birthday pops:) Cute!

Snap peas, that’s adventurous, who needs green beans?!

Your garden looks great! I can’t wait until mine has actual vegetables on the vines. :)

Wow! Your garden looks awesome. You know, I’ve never actually grown my own vegetables. Just farm work!

You are the spitting image of you mother, but I’m sure you hear that a lot.
