Darkness and Light









John heard me squeal with delightto find so much development in my herbs this morning!  Just look!  My mother is a farmer at heart and has always loved dirt and plants and being in her garden.  I was convinced that I just didn't have it in me.  When I used to think of gardening, I thought of squatting in the burning sun filling my fingernails with dirt to pull up some weeds which were only going to sprout again next week.  But I love the benefits of fresh, homegrown vegetables too much to write it off entirely.  And now, now I am beginning to learn personally about this plant-love.  :-)

  1. I have fallen in love with plant pot gardening. I will try to post pictures of my modest collection. I'm especially pleased with my mint, which Daniel loves to pick and eat. ;)

  2. I'd love to see them! We have some mint, too, actually left over from our wedding, but I haven't done anything with it yet. Daniel must be such a sweetie!
