“Looking great! Hard to believe this is only your second season of gardening.”

I started late last year, maybe it was March/April and that was screwing up and learning.

I had a bowl of strawberries this morning from the garden. They didn’t come from California with people handling them, hadn’t been sprayed with anything, weren’t put in a truck and taken to a grocery store where they sat. I picked them off the plant, washed them, and ate them with a bit of milk and bit of sugar. Since they are fresh, the strawberry taste is intense.

Johnny, I checked every tobacco plant and no animal of any kind is on them. I did spray them and some others with Neem oil just to make myself feel better about protecting the plants.

In the pictures, you will notice I still have the small greenhouse leaned against the wall where I put it after it fell forward due to wind or animal making it fall forward. I don’t need it right now so think I will leave it where it is rather than standing it up again.

As long as there aren’t any bugs.

Just ate some asparagus fresh from the garden. Seasoned it with thyme and a walking onion. This is where the pay-off starts for all the hard work.

Don’t those strawberries just taste better than anything you ever bought from the store? Once I tasted my own homegrown food, I decided I don’t ever want to go back to store bought.LOL
