The Garden

For people that know me they know that I do not like the idea of growing flowers in a garden. I just find it a waste of money and space when I can grow great produce and herbs to feed myself. Maintained, a garden of various vegetables like peppers, tomatoes and an assortment of herbs can look just as good as flowers and it will smell better to.

I love flowers for their looks and like to have them around the house but I love digging into the black soil, clay and sand planting my vegetables and sowing the seeds. The entire time I think of pickling the extra green beans with the chillies I am growing for antipasto platters, pepper jellies, roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic and fresh basil. The possibilities are endless when you can just walk out your back door.
