day 62

my babies are growing!

It’s been 62 days since I started my tomato & herb garden!! Where does the time go??
There are tons of little green tomatoes ready to ripen on the vines.
So far, I’ve used a LOT of basil and some thyme from my stash. I’ve learned that basil requires A LOT of water- especially in my area.

I’m looking forward to making some recipes that include the Thai basil I’m growing.

So far soooo good. I am super stoked to see the fruits of my labor (pun intended). I find myself just staring at every single leaf, blossom & growing tomato…watching them grow. It’s exciting to see how much they shoot up in one night.

The process has been very rewarding! I can’t wait to dig into those beauties!

Casey cleaned the kitchen for me and I immediately started cracking on my chores. It’s soo nice when someone cleans your kitchen for you. It wipes the slate clean and the stress… THE STRESS of having to clean ANOTHER bowl makes me throw in the towel…over and over. I make such a mess in the kitchen and cannot keep up with my brain. It was the equivalent to an 80 minute back massage. I am serious about this.

I went through the freezer and tossed out old crap to make room for the baby food I made this AM. This should last a little while:
