Gardening fun

Instead of buying each other cut flowers this Valentine’s Day, Ian and I decided to buy each other some plants for our garden. Our container gardening success is limited – our plants vary between degrees of dead with no hope of revival to struggling to get by. We have, however, perfected the art of growing grass. Though this is very cool, we decided to attempt something more challenging this Valentine’s Day and we got each other a whole assortment of goodies: tomato plants, bell pepper plants, chile pepper plants, basil, strawberries, and a whole pretty pot of succulents. These will join our paper whites, tulips, and our lemon tree. Growing edible plants is part of our larger plan to add more foods to Ian’s diet. Hopefully the plants don’t die before they get big enough to eat.
