Mrs. Green Thumb

Surprisingly enough, my garden was a huge success last year! Now that I'm no longer a novice, it was an obvious choice to till it up once again. I, clearly, have a natural green thumb. My intention last year was to grow a salsa garden, when in actuality, of all the items I grew, only one was an ingredient in salsa. Tomatoes. Apparently I got a little confused when I was at the nursery choosing among the assortment of pepper plants.

This year, with my new found skill set, I've added to the garden's variety. Not only did I plant the items for salsa; tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro. But I branched out and I'm tackling lettuce, basil, red peppers, and strawberries. The strawberry's are actually on their second year. Rumor has it each year's crop gets better and better. I've had two berries off the plant so far and I have to admit, they are awesome! Must be my sweetness rubbing off on them.

I'll keep you updated, but so far we are looking good!!
