Farmers' market.

Corelyn and I went to the Farmers’ market this weekend and scored on some excellent bounty. Potatoes (red, purple, and white), some tomatoes, basil (which I made into pesto), two huge heads of lettuce, lots of avocados, zucchini and summer squash, and some brussel sprouts.

Delicious. I filled my sink with some water, and let the lettuce and brussel sprouts sit for a while, shaking out the dirt.

May flowers…herbs…

I’ve been meaning to post an update on my potted herbs for a month and a half now, but it’s good I waited, because they have grown so much. I think it’s because of all the talking I do to them…

Do you see the little seedlings in the middle? They are starting to grow!

These ones seem to be growing better. I think that they have more light.

I thought if I bought a flowering plant it’d encourage the others to grow.

Well the potato guy isn’t growing too much, but I think he needs more sun.
