Diggin' on my Garden!

So after waiting a year on the wait list I finally got my urban garden plot!  Unfortunately, I didn't get it in time for the summer season, but I've got a great late summer/fall garden planted.  Quite frankly, at the moment I've got lettuce coming out of my ears --- but it's all good.

Today's harvest is basil, lettuce --- Bib and Romaine, cilantro, peppers and radishes and I'm trying to think what I can whip up.  The first, of course, is a kick-ass salad --- so that'll work.  But then I'm thinking I'll also make a batch of pesto and freeze it because I love me some pesto:)

I grew up with gardens, but never appreciate them really.  They were a chore that I was NOT excited about.  Now, however I actually enjoy working in the garden and get a great sense of satisfaction out of it....go figure.  Being that I live in Atlanta, in the city it really doesn't give to much opportunity for people to have gardens and it really got me thinking how sad it is that so few people know how to grow their own food.  I mean really, if something crazy happened and we were forced to grow our own food...how many people would/could do it??  Interesting thought.

Well --- keeping it short today and fixin' to eat me some salad!
