When we went to pick up Jake from school tonight (which he sadly got out early and b/c my phone is crazy lately I didn't know he called me) he was standing on the curb waiting for me. In his hands he had a planter box. He opened the door to the truck and presented me with this amazing HERB GARDEN! that he researched, planted, and put together himself!
(He then told me he felt like a little kid again who's mom forgot to pick them up after school)
Lately I have been expressing my desire to grow a garden. We only have a tiny porch/balcony on our third floor condo so space and sunshine are limited, as is my gardening experience. I do remember helping my Nana and Papa dig up potatoes, pick beans, shell peas, and snap beans and always wanting to pick the big ears of corn but that is my extent of gardening. (Unless you count snapping off the tips of my Grandma Sellers' aloe vera plant as "harvesting.")
Jake helped me to begin my "city" garden tonight and I am so pleased! I'll keep y'all all posted on just how GREEN my thumb turns out to be.

This is AMAZING! Will he help me make one too?
ReplyDeletecongratulations! I recently started an herb garden on my front porch as well, we will see how both of ours turn out together.
ReplyDeleteI have such a brown thumb that I hope it isn't a hereditary thing, or at least from my mom's side, so it won't affect you! ha ha! Good luck with the herb garden and let us know how it turns out
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet hubby you have!!
ReplyDeleteHey fetcher, nice plants. I got your voicemail, I had already gone to bed. You said you were going to call again yesterday and didn't. If you would just get text messaging it would make being your friend so much easier/more fun.

ReplyDeleteI've never really grown anything either, so I hope I don't kill the flowers I got for Mother's Day. They're only supposed to be watered once a week, so that's not too hard to remember. That'll been nice to have fresh herbs to cook with. My mother-in-law is a great gardener and can grow anything. I was impressed when I found out she just went in her backyard and picked some herbs to cook with that night. How convenient!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed. Maybe he could come weed my backyard!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I know just how you feel on wanting a garden. I have a little tree that is about 1ft tall. It kind of takes care of my gardening needs.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what Jake means when he said he was reminded of when mom or dad forgot to pick him up after school.
