Who needs drugs.

Another garden post. It just rocks my socks every time I walk past. I think what amazes me so much is not that I did anything (Nick and Aaron did all the hard work) or even that we did anything by planting it, but that the earth did it. That out of a bunch of bare dirt and a couple seeds the earth spit out edible food! Call me simple, but my socks are still rocked.

Here are some more pictures. I decided to change my blog title to reflect my obvious garden-mania. Plus I think it is a nice metaphor to my life, so it works.


Can you believe how tall the corn is!

We are going to make salsa with these chile peppers sometime soon.


The bean seeds Nick planted are all sprouting.

And, when I went to take pictures of the pumpkins, this guy was there waiting for me. He was beautiful in life and vibrant. He even sat there long enough for me to dig out my camera and didn't fly away even when I stuck the camera in his face. There are angels everywhere.

sweet butterfly!

and i like the blog name-change. sometimes you just gotta have a blog for a while before even YOU know what it's really about.

man, i think that people who haven't had a garden really don't get this particular kind of joy. i certainly didn't before i first had a garden. and then it was just like: magic! everyone should have a garden. then we'd probably all take care of the earth a lot more.
