My Garden!

Wow, my garden is currently a sad little mess. However, the neighborhood cats have enjoyed having a nice sand box to use this summer. Which has contributed to its yuckiness. Its a sad spiral, I didn't do much with it, the cats pooped in it, and so then I avoided it in all its stinkiness. But my garden did not abandon me! Here is some proof of what I've gathered from it.


It has been so nice to be able to go out and harvest tomatoes whenever I needed them. And we've had a lot! I've been cooking all sorts of yummy tomato related recipes and I may be biased but I think they taste awesome! Plus, its nice to think that I know exactly where they came from and didn't have bug juice sprayed on 'em.
My other huge garden-related success has been with the herbs I've grown. All summer I've had a bountiful supply of basil, oregano, and parsley! So now I'm totally spoiled and can go out at any time and pluck some fresh herbs for whatever I'm cooking. Its certainly caused and extra bit of yumminess in my cooking, again, is it only because I'm biased? Hmmm, I don't have any pictures of those but I have them in a cute little striped tin that I busted some holes in and filled with dirt. And its worked great! I wonder if I could try to plant some fresh stuff in there and try to grow it inside. We have a lot of windows and therefore a lot of sunlight in our sun room. Any tips? have any of y'all had any experience with doing this?
And tonight I'm going to go make us some homemade spaghetti. I actually made it a couple of weeks ago but I made a ton and stuck it in the freezer. I love doing that and will hopefully be able to get a deep freeze soon, our freezer is so full now! And so I'd better go do that, hope you're having a great day! (new belly pics coming soon!!)
