I have a confession - I still play in the dirt. There is just something special about growing something yourself. I get a lot of enjoyment from sprouting seeds and checking on them each day to see the progress they have made. The very best part , of course, is when you get to eat something that you actually grew yourself. The top photo is a valley grown herb - hot & spicy oregano. I put some in my last batch of spaghetti sauce and I think that is what gave it that extra zip. I actually took several herbs out of my bucket (chives, basil, oregano,rosemary & thyme)...just bits of each..gave them a little rinse and balled them up into my loose tea holder thingie. I am talking about a little silver tea holder that has a little chain on it that you are supposed to hang on the side of your tea cup. I bunched all of the spices up, put it in the tea holder thingie and hung it on the inside lip of the crock pot into the sauce. It works really well and you don't have to bother chopping any of the herbs up...super easy (I am a big fan of super easy)
some bush beans which are like summer candy, in my opinion. I planted a few in a pot and the rest are going in my raised bed...yummy!!!
