gardening

i've been wanting to plant a garden for a very long time, but i have also killed every plant i've owned for a very long time, so i was unsure if i should proceed. however, since i envision myself being a mother who has a garden and cans the fruits of her labor i figured i should start somehow. lowe's has a money back guarantee on their plants which gave me hope. we have the most pathetic patch of dirt outside our door but with a little perseverance i've had success. small success.

initial confusion on staking my plants.
a little elbow grease.

the first fruit! best strawberry ever. i absolutely love having a basil plant as nothing beats fresh basil. i finally have a squash coming in and am so excited about that. nothing from my tomato plant yet, but i have hopes. again, very small success, but a victory none the less.
