Letting my garden grow. And grow
My mom's flight home was this afternoon so I am left without company and full of good food. And maybe time to blog?
Speaking of food, gardening and growing food has long been a hobby of mine. Yet every year it seems I'm all eager to plant my vegetable garden in the spring and by the time late summer rolls around, I'm a little less eager to weed and harvest. Every year I say I'm going to scale back the next year, but then spring comes again and I just can't seem to help myself.
So in go the tomatoes, squash, peppers, eggplant, swiss chard (which I never eat), lettuce, basil and beans.
By the time fall comes and the weather cools, I fancy getting back into the garden again. But all there is to do it pick the last of the crops and clean up. At least right now I still have some brussel sprouts growing. Not sure when they'll be ready to eat, but I'm looking forward to it.
This year I was all set to plant some garlic over the winter to harvest in the spring. But it seems I've missed the boat on ordering my garlic bulbs as everywhere I look on the net, it's sold out. Maybe Gro-Moore Farms will have some still. I need to get over there are take a look. Before, say, November!

Silandara Bartlett-Gustina was a Rochester outsider when she moved to the city at the turn of the millennium without even laying eyes on it. She quickly took root, declaring it the best place she's lived (including the UK, several U.S. states and Barbados). Now on the brink of her 30s, she's somehow transformed into a wife, mom, homeowner and freelancer. But she's determined to still have a life -- giving you an inside look at what makes Rochester a cool place to call home.
