The Harvest

      Start by the root, that's the way to do it! But, while you're harvesting, do it with a smile. Its only been week 4 and harvesting has been one of the most funnest things EVER! Although "funnest" may not be a word, it still applies when it comes to harvesting. The best thing to harvest was always the potatoes, but the runner up has to be the squash, and tomatoes. Today, we picked basil from Nia and my garden bed. It broke my heart to see her pluck the basil like that because I'm worried it won't grow back ever again, since its only been about a couple of weeks since we planted it.

I'm proud to say that I love my garden bed. Its growing faster than  everyone else's. Today we picked all kinds of vegetables and herbs for the salad we're supposed to be making today. The only thing  I'm nervous about... is the way its going to taste. I was afraid that when we got down to it, it would taste like outside, with outside dressing. Or in other words it was going to taste like garden. Well here's the joke, we picked the herbs and vegetables from a garden bed, so we'll have a garden salad. Ha! That was humorous because of.. well never mind! But today has been a good day, now I'm looking forward to the taste of that salad!
