Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about our organic garden that we had just planted? It looked a little like this:
Well now, it looks a little like this:
You can barely see it because it blends in with all the greenery behind our house! It’s enormous now. These pictures were taken about five days ago and since then it’s grown even larger. Like, three times larger.
So far we’ve enjoyed fresh basil and a whole lot of parsley from the garden. All of the other things are starting to flower and we’ll be clipping the salad greens to enjoy this weekend. There’s something so rewarding about going out and clipping what you need from the garden and then cooking with it. Even if it’s from just a tiny, built in a child’s armoire, garden.
Do you have anything growing in your yard or patio or even windowsill? Do you have any out of this world recipes that use massive amounts of parsley?! We’ve made marinades, garnished vegetables, Al even slapped a few sprigs on a sandwich. Tabouleh is next on the list to make.
Happy Friday!
We have planted a few things this year as well. Have different herbs and have started using them – need to get moving on them this weekend. I have three different pepper plants and have already cut the arugula. Like yours, ours has grown so quickly with all the rain we’ve had! I thinkI I am going to grab some more pepper plants this weekend, and also some tomato plants.
I also added to my shade garden, which became much more sunny this year when the neighbor’s tree crashed down into our yard! I now have a partially sunny shade garden, so I am experimenting with new plants! It’s beautiful…I’ll have to get some pics this weekend!!
Sounds lovely! We thought about doing pepper plants too but we ran out of space. Maybe next year we’ll try those!
