To the garden!

It's late, I know. But today we gardened. We had to do something that grown-up people do on national holidays, and since we grilled and beered Saturday and Sunday, today had to be garden/yard day.

Jason tilled the earth and ate weeds while I planted. It was hot and I still smell of sunscreen and dirt, but it felt nice to get out in the yard a bit. This year, the word is simple. Simple simple simple. Just a few tomato plants, some basil, one squash plant and a pepper plant for fun. That is it. Last year we planted way too much stuff and the garden was out of control. We went to Guatemala and came home to a jungle of tangled gnarled vines and so many rotten tomatoes; I vowed to never garden again.

I'm excited about this year's low maintenance prospects. Surprisingly, a few plants will still yield enough goods for some yummy homemade pesto, delicious little tomato sandwiches and some fried squash. Can't wait!
