My First Garden

I'm so proud of my first little patio garden! Some of my plants are doing better than others but overall it is a success.  I get giddy when I pick herbs to use with dinner and love going out there every day to water my little beauties.  And there is something about growing things that you can eat... I think I will always favor foodscaping.  Gardening reminds me of my Grandma, I have fond memories of picking carrots with her and eating tomatoes like apples in her garden.  The scent left on my hands after gardening on my patio totally brings me back to those days.
