And couldn’t be more excited. Can you blame them? Not with one look at Ashley’s spectacular home garden!
It is lovely, isn’t it? Lean in closer, and you’ll notice this little gem.
Squash for everyone! Not only is Ashley is the generous sort, but it seems to be a natural fit–when you have bounty, you feel like a party. Forget that the menu will be filled with your favorites–you won’t have to cook! Instead, eat them fresh from the vine. Easy and healthier.
Julie is sprouting right along. Why just look at these carrots. Yes, that’s a dropped squash seed in their midst. It happens.
Her herb garden is making nice progress. If you kneel beside the kiddy pool and dip your head near into the dirt, you can see the tiny beginnings on her basil.
And her tomatoes? Growing strong and full–though don’t forget to pinch! Those small growths between the main stems are known as suckers, and if you “pinch” them off before they get too big (like this one), your tomato plant will have more energy to direct to the major branches, wasting less on extraneous ones.
Don’t have your own home garden? How about starting one in celebration of Earth Day. Can’t think of a better way to pay homage.
