Do you see this beautiful tuft of spinach above? I am shedding tears right now knowing that I grew this in my garden. No not really, but I am really proud of myself. I can’t believe I didn’t kill my plants! But wait, there’s more.

Tomatoes! Can you believe this? It looks like I do have a green thumb after all. I was so excited when I saw these little tomatoes. Currently, I have about 10 that will hopefully grow into nice, red robust tomatoes. It’s quite exciting. This is all it takes in life to make me happy. See how easily pleased I am?

Pomegranate! Oh wow so many exciting fruits and veggies. Unfortunately, this was the only fruit that the tree gave, but I don’t mind. Hopefully I can spend some time caring for it so it bears more fruit.

I was so excited about my edible garden that I planted oregano, basil and arugula, which have all sprouted. I honestly love the idea of growing my own food so much. If I had the time, energy and money, I would have a farm. I would love to grow sugar pumpkins to make pumpkin pie with and peppers. I have to say, that growing food is the only reason I love Southern California weather. Fruits and vegetables that regularly have a ‘season’ can be grown year round here because of the weather. It’s nice.
