Gizmo and I planted the garden this past spring, and we have had a little bit of success this year. I clearly have not inherited my grandpa and dad's natural growing ability. (It figures that the plant that grew the best was the one that I bought by accident - the serrano chile pepper. I licked one piece of a pepper, it burned my mouth, and then I promptly pulled the whole plant out.) We did have a good lettuce crop, our asparagus patch is starting to come in, and we finally got some tomatoes this year, after attempting them for the last three years.
We planted carrots for the first time this year, an impulse by at the garden store last spring as Gizmo declared that was what she wanted to grow. We pulled the carrots this weekend, and while they are short because we planted them too close together, they are delicious!
Gizmo loved eating them with the green tops still on!
