The Garden
Hi Lucy,
I’m thinking of you as I tend to the garden. It’s in that stage where the fruits and flowers are on the verge of exploding into life!
I have our normal go-to’s of tomatoes, peppers, garlic, cucumbers & eggplant. I planted a chocolate cherry tomato this year that I can’t wait to try. The name is derived from the deep brown blush color & is supposed to have a full rich cherry tomato flavor. The yellow pear cherry tomato has been my favorite as it is like popping a bowl of candy in your mouth so we will see if I have a new favorite this year. I’ll be pulling the garlic any day now. I am still waiting for all lower stems to turn brown then those bulbs of goodness will be unearthed! I think you can name most of the plants in the photos.
I hope you enjoy the pictures & that you were able to plant a garden as well.
I love you! Big hugs!
Mom
