have a garden full of fresh herbs and vegetables to replace buying at the grocery store

We bought a greenhouse! While the snow was melting outside I had lots of seeds sprouting in our kitchen just waiting to enter the greenhouse. Now they are all out except from some herbs (sage, thyme, basil, oregano, cilantro) that I use when cooking. In the greenhouse there is now tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, a kumquat three, red bell peppers, more basil and parsley. So exciting!

I have some herbs and veggies, not many yet, and I still buy mostly at the store or farmers market.

It’s been a long time since I added this goal, but it’s been on my mind now and then, and now that the spring is entering I’ve just started this. I have a very nice smelling menta on my right in the window frame, bathed in sun light:) I’ve bought basilicum and parsley seeds, and a seedbox. I just need some good soil and I’m ready!

I first have to clear out a space in my yard to do this, maybe I should make that on my list before this.

This is going to have to wait until I get out of the navy.

Gosh, that’s one of my sweet, supressed dreams; to able to grab a fresh and juicy “self made” tomato by just stretching your arm out the window, like a mini breakfast in bed. I would have carrots, squash, onions, tomatoes, parsley, thyme… well those to begin with. I guess I will have to wait until spring though. It’s not so suitable to start digging in your garden with all this permafrost.

although in the winter i cannot grow my garden(stupid snow is too cold) during the spring summer and fall i have salads made from my garden. it is really nice to know where your vegies are coming from because you know for sure that they are fresh. it also gives me satisfaction knowing that my hard work is what makes this delicious salad possible. have fun! o and get relly good quality soil because it will work WAY better.

make that ORGANIC

This would be simply delightful. I must do this.

I already partially have this…in pots I have oregano, basil, chives, rosemary, lemon balm, bee balm, tansy, cilantro, peppermint, aloe vera and two tomatoes, cherry and beef king. But I really would enjoy having more vegetables (next summer maybe?) and some small fruit trees, such as lemon. It is such a pleasure to use fresh items, that are your own labour of love!
