The Oath I made this year was to finally plant a garden. I've been buzzing about it for the past couple of years and it was one of those things that just never happened. This year, however, it did. I grabbed a bunch of plastic buckets and made myself a garden.
It's not very big, but it works just fine for me as a starter garden. The kiddo is getting excited about it, and I now know more for next year. Next year we might get a community plot and actually put stuff in the ground - but then we would have to remember to go over there. With it outside my house, I can check on it when I get home every night.
We currently have a couple of small tomatoes ripening, a couple spring peas we've already eaten, and cucumbers getting ready to fruit. My peppers don't have any growing yet, but I planted them later than everything else. My spinach and radishes failed, but my lettuce and sage are growing well.
It's a joy coming home and seeing those things. I love just running my hand over my dwarf basil and trying to train the cucumber vine to it's cage. It's amazing to see a tomato come from a flower.
Are you growing anything this year?
