Unlike my father and my brother, I do not have a green thumb. I try my hand at gardening every year. And while I may get a few cucumbers or tomatoes, I wouldn't call it a "real" garden. Nothing like my father used to do anyway. But, it is still entertaining.
I decided to add a few herbs this year. I love rosemary chicken, and my brother turned me on to basil on fresh, homemade pizza. I also love pesto as a spread on panini sandwiches.
My garden is small...only a 6 X 6 square. I put in a few tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and a couple of eggplant. But I feel like the MasterCard commercial...$35.00 for plants, soil and compost for the garden. Watching it grow...priceless.

Begging your pardon...dad has a green thumb, as did Pa Gray, but not me. I don't think sticking a few plants into straw bales qualifies as real gardening. Brenda, I had no idea you wrote so well. Keep it up!

Thanks, TG. But, green thumb, or not, you do at least inspire me to work on my gardening skills. Who knows, maybe all I'll have to buy this summer is lettuce.
Why buy lettuce? Is the lettuce growing season over already? See, I know very little about this whole gardening thing, but I think I'm going to learn.
Brenda, Shirley's Produce, where we got the half runners, has Roma plants for 60 cents each. I'm going to plant 6 after I zip this off. I bought Sandhills strawberries this morning, and Texas 'lopes too.
