My garden is growing nicely. Its exciting to see the flowers turn into fruit. Its been humid and hot lately, so I’ve had to remember to water the plants, but I’ve been rather good about it. I really can’t wait until I can make a salad out of veggies I grew myself. The weather has been a little gross to sit outside, but I keep going out there anyway, checking on my little plants. I wonder if I’ll feel bad eating them, since I’ve seen them grow up from their infancy?

Today was a perfect spring day. Warm enough to spend as much time possible outside… lots of walking around to get errands done. I got some work done on one of the documentaries I’m chipping away at, sitting outside by my garden. I’ve got some baby tomatoes coming in! I need to stake the plant, but I think I have some time before it starts getting weighed down. The rain this past week has been treating my plants very well. The mint and basil are thriving. No sign of the cucumbers yet, but soon, hopefully soon.
A new coffee shop opened up down the street. Really good mocha, and soon it will sell take-out beer, over 500 varieties. The place has a lot of potential, and I think it will be great to sit out and drink some coffee with a good book. Maybe they’ll even have the awesome Ø beer from Norway….
