Gardening!


So on a recent trip to Target I was perusing the dollar section (cause I mean who can resist dollar bargains?) and it was all decked out in gardening gear. So it seemed appropriate to pick up some supplies to start a summer garden (parsley, basil, tomatoes and cilantro) because I really had a craving for bruschetta and I only have to wait a couple months! haha but it should be amazing right? Vine ripened home grown tomatoes and fresh basil...YUM.

I believe that people should feign interest in my gardening habit lest they be not invited to share the bounty when everything is ready. I am not obligated to share, I only share with people that I care about and are nice. haha at least pretend to be excited guys, its exciting to me! Growing something from a little itty seed and seeing it blossom into a ripe fruit or herb, its completely gratifying.

I remember when I wanted to grow my own apple seed. So I took a seed from the apple that I had just finished eating and my mom helped me plant it in a pot underneath the air conditioning unit so it would get water. That plant actually sprouted and grew into a pretty good size before I gave it to my old kindergarten (for years I've wanted to wanted to spell it kindergarDen because that's how I pronounce it) teacher to have. I heard that it actually grew some apples a couple years back. Amazing right? Life grows in the most unlikely of places.
