Green Thumb



This summer, we all decided it was time to try our luck at planting some vegetables and herbs. Of course, as this was one of the wettest summers in history, we had to wait a bit for things to take off. Mommy watched while Dziadzui and Daddy tilled the earth in Dziadzui's back yard. Mommy raked and we put up fence to keep out the deer and coyote that are plentiful in my grandparents neck of the woods. We got some wonderful tomatoes, mint, basil, thyme, hot peppers, habaneros (for Daddy), one lonely green pepper and some cucumbers which are starting to sprout. I love this plant what you eat way of life. I have to say my favorite part of the day is when I pilfer blueberries off of Dziadzui's blueberry bush. The sweet goodness of summer.
