I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

YES!!!

I AM so excited, and I just can't hide it!  It's not just a great Pointer Sisters' song, it's how I feel.  Since my last visit to the community garden, which was on July 10th, the garden has made another big step.  I visited yesterday, July 15th, and everything looks even better!  More Tomatoes everywhere, Peppers of every variety are multiplying, Cucumbers keep coming, Onions bulging, and I now have ears of Corn!

LOOK AT THIS!!!

 



Every year that I've been gardening, their is one plant that I get really excited about and this year is most definitely CORN!  I mean, come on, how cool is that?!  I am a Hoosier, so I guess this is only natural.  When I got the garden plot at Broadway Community Garden, I knew I wanted to try to grow corn.  It's probably about 7ft tall now.  Check it out:

This picture of myself cracks me up and the caption I want to put on this would be...  inappropriate.  Funny, but inappropriate. 

 

Here are some more great picture updates from the community garden:



I got 10 Jalapenos from the garden yesterday.  I put one and a half in some pico de gallo I made.  It was so frickin hot!  Wheeeoooow!  I have a ton of tomatoes everywhere.  I'm hoping they start turning soon.  I'm ready for some fresh tomatoes.  It puts me in a great mood when we pick veggies from OUR garden and cook with them.  Amazing. 

 

Now I'm not growing greens in the community garden, but in our garden box at home.  We are almost done with all the greens.  They were great.  I love picking greens out of the ground, washing them and then eating them 30 minutes later.  I hope everyone does this at some point in their lives.  It feels great that you know what you're putting into your body.  Well, at least you have a better chance to knowing what you put in your body, anyway. 

 

Ok, back to work, everyone.
