InApril the word I would have described how I felt before I started growing my Home Farm was apprehensive. I was after all the woman who killed a cactus and pretty much every other plant I have ever grown. But now here it is August and my word moved from apprehensive to amazed.

As you can see Crazy Cocker Spaniel is all too happy to celebrate the crops that my little patio home farm produced. She loves to go out with me every day when I water and try and steal snap peas when I am not looking. :) She is begging for one in the picture (and yes, she in on her hind legs). Obviously my dog is not the only one celebrating my harvest. My friends have more than benefitted from home farm project. I have kept my friends (as well as myself) fully supplied in pretty much all the romaine lettuce, parsley, chives, and arugula one could possibly want. Seriously, I swear it grows as I am cutting it down. One thing that I don’t have yet are strawberries, you can see from the picture though that they want … [Read more...]
