Its been a busy busy couple of weeks, and if anyone out there is actually following (thank you!), and was waiting for a new post, I'm finally getting around to it.
Big news is: we're getting married! Our lives are about to get more hectic...planning a business, a wedding, and a huge backyard gardening project all while working long hours most days a week. While trying to figure out how to make the meatiest meatless dishes on the planet. And life still happens while you're making big plans, things like eating and cooking and laundry continue to get in the way...
So maybe a little far behind the rest of the planet, we've discovered square foot gardening. We're so interested in the high yield concept, that we plan to pretty much rearrange our entire backyard to accommodate. Our goal is to grow enough produce, to support us the entire season! The knowledge that we have on this subject is based on our "throw it in the ground and see what happens" approach to last years attempt, and about an hours worth of internet research. So, it'll probably go ok. I don't entirely understand things growing upside down, the eating habits of the squirrel (terrorist)that lives on our roof, or what "perfect soil" is, but Google is that best friend that knows everything and doesn't tell people you asked stupid questions.
Even with a few failures though, there is simply nothing better and more summery than heading out back to grab lunch right out of the ground. Tasting the sun in my food is something I wish I had experienced much earlier in life, and is something we never tire of talking about when the cherry tomatoes are ripe.
