Oh lordy.

I'm going to take this corn salad behind the school and get it pregnant.

Wherein I marvel at what can come from dirt...

Food has humble beginnings I guess. It's just crazy that all the stuff I need to make a tomato or a carrot is in seed + water + dirt. This entry is (mostly) about firsts. I've been away for awhile, but I did try my best to make sure I documented the first everythings that all of our wonderful food plants produced. Props go out to Eddy of course, as well as J.E., L.J., and C.B. for contributing sweat, blood, and tears (but mostly sweat) to this garden.

Tomatoes! Costoluto Genovese went from this...

May the season be treating your stomach as well as it is mine.
