i feel bloggy

this past weekend carla and i went to the beaverton farmer's market.
we bought some fresh asparagus, radishes and lettuce.

and on a whim, we bought a whole bunch of plants. vegetable plants.

broccoli, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers and peppers.

so after dropping those off at home, we ran to home depot and bought a bunch of soil and turned these plastic bins we used to move into a container garden on our porch.

we already had some peas and spinach and herbs and carrots growing that carla had planted earlier, but now we are up to a full-fledged garden.

i'm excited about it because i haven't had a garden since i was living in minnesota.

every summer on memorial day weekend, we would plant the garden with tons of vegetables.

there was always a time during the summer when we would have these huge massive salads for lunch on weekends that were made from just stuff in our garden (except for the cheese and baconbits!). or cabbage and ham soup at the end of the season when the cabbage ripened.

it makes this apartment feel like home just a bit more.
