I have always wanted to start a veggie and herb garden, so I finally took the plunge this year. All I have to say is that nothing is more fun than eating a strawberry you grew yourself! Skylar is my apprentice on the project, and together we are growing tomatoes, squash, corn, bell peppers, jalepenos, watermelon, strawberries, and about 6 different herbs! They are taking off, and it is SO fun to see the progress every day! So far, everything has gone well — except the time Skylar almost got fired when she was too scared to get the hose to water because she saw a bug. I told her that if she wanted to be anything like me….she would have to bypass the bug. She rolled her eyes and said she didn’t want to be like me, she just wants some fresh veggies this summer.
