Garden update and weekend plans

I realized after the last post that I haven't given you an update on our indoor garden! I'm sorry!!!

Actually, a few things have died (like our original lettuce that we got from the garden store and our cilantro) but so much has grown! We started so much from seeds and I find it amazing to see how fast these plants are growing! Cucumbers were the last seeds we planted and they are quite large. Our peppers and tomatoes are large too but we are still waiting for fruit. Our Arugula, basil, dill, oregano and parsley are doing great and we use them regularly which is great. I am just so happy that I don't have to buy them at the store! Hopefully we will be able to enjoy all the things we have planted soon.... I can't wait!

Baby J loves to eat the leaves of the herbs. He especially loves the basil, I wonder if it is because I ate so many dishes with basil as an ingredient in it.... hmmmmmmm.... it is something to think about!

So the baby has been feeling more like himself, which I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT! I hate seeing him sick and really not being able to make him feel better. I knew he was feeling better because for the past few days he has not been eating much, but today he was eating everything in sight! That made me happy too... that and my trip to Wholefoods! I haven't gone out with the baby all week and today since he was better I decided we would take a little trip. We were only there for a little bit, but it was worth it to get out for a few.

Tomorrow we are going to the Highlands Greenfest in West Milford. I am excited to go, we will be seeing my sister and her husband :-D and hopefully be coming home with lots of information about information about organic gardening, green building, and a whole bunch of goodies! I also hear that there will be some local farmers selling their produce and I am so very excited about that!!!!

Well, today has been a long day and I am so very exhausted. Waking up at 6:20 AM is not easy!
Hope you have a good evening and weekend if I don't get the chance to write!

Much love,
-J
