making babies

3.25.2013

So here is the big news...I'm moving in with Adam...and...we're going to have...

A garden! Full of little babies! Babies as in plants that is. Tomatoes, peppers, kale, herbs - it will be full of all our favorite things. We got started on the little guys that need a time inside using recycled bottles. All you have to do is cut the bottle in half with a utility knife, drill small holes in the cap, and then you have a self-watering container to germinate seeds in. A week later to the tee, we have little guys sprouting up. Now that they're showing some green, we turned on a fan to circulate air and flood lights equipped with agro bulbs to give them light. Stay tuned for all the updates as we build planters, compost, fertilize, harvest, and of course, COOK, this season. This is going to be fun, here's to new life!

What better to do when your parents are in town than to escape to some magical gardens, bursting with beauty every which way you look?

My mom and dad visited Philadelphia last weekend and that's exactly what we did. It was so nice to see them - to wander around, calmly enjoying each other's presence.We ate all too much, saw beautiful things, and even did some boyfriend introducing. I was deeply contented at the weekend's close, and fell fast, fast asleep.
