garden update.

There must be something special about Seattle rain. We complain about it, whine about it, want it when the temperature rises above 75 degrees, and it makes our garden greens grow like weeds!

This is been our first foray into the gardening scene, which happens to be huge in our neck of the woods. People fit their tidy, colorful, and bohemian gardens wherever they can, in nooks on their porch, on their rock ledges, or even hanging from the side of their house. Our neighbors a few blocks away have a beautiful vegetable garden, and document their adventures on their blog Eatin' Your Yard. Most days when Molly and I go for our morning run or walk, we check out the newest greenery springing up in our neighbors' raised beds. While we're not quite at that level of expertise, I have to say the garden in our rather giant backyard has yielded wonderful results! There's two tomato plants that are growing by leaps and bounds every day, rows of spinach that multiply overnight, butter lettuce, and strong, hardy, purple kale.

Oh yes, and arugula and basil. I couldn't live without those two, I love arugula mixed green salads and the thought of my own basil in our caprese salads makes my mouth water.

Now, on to our Farmer's Market for some new raspberries. Happy Sunday!
