So it seems I've started a blog - one where I will share what's going on in my garden and kitchen. I chose gardening because it's what I've been interested in lately, and cooking because I'm trying to do it more often. I've decided to do this for three reasons:
- I was encouraged by the professor of a class I took on integrating technology in the classroom.
- If my Dad can blog, I ought to be able to as well.
- I figure it will keep me motivated to try new things.
I live in a townhouse on a Marine base, so I didn't get to pick my house or anything. I had my fingers crossed for a yard, but what I ended up with was a small porch. So my tiny garden is a random collection of flower pots and containers. I have some great plants and some that aren't doing so well -
On the left is a mystery plant left by a neighbor who moved away (I figured out what it is! But more about that another time); to its right is a tomato plant; in the window box on the bottom is romaine lettuce; across the top is a jalapeno pepper plant, some onions, and a green bell pepper plant; on the far right is my not-productive zucchini plant.
Below are my lovely sweet potato vine, some marigolds I planted from seeds, three strawberry plants, a dahlia that when it blooms is the same shade as its pot, and some more little marigolds that I rescued from a flat that had baked in the sun too long.
Tomorrow maybe I'll show off my indoor plants or post some really beautiful up-close shots. Other gardening-related topics I'm interested in exploring include propagating my fern, growing avocado plants, vermicomposting, and figuring out why the heck my zucchini plant isn't producing. Anyway, thanks for checking out my new blog!
