The Garden




Oh, the Garden!

I had such reservations about it because I had quite the black thumb when I lived in Denver. It turns out that automatic irrigation makes all the difference. We are able to set our watering days and times and then forget all about it. The only work I do in the garden is pull out weeds (which is actually quite satisfying to my sense of order). 

We are growing strawberries, cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupe, tomatoes, bell peppers, and squash--oh my!

  1. I think everyone in Denver who doesn't have automatic sprinklers or drip irrigation has a black thumb! I'm convinced that only reason my plot in the community garden survived was that I had a big patch of mint with a sign that said "pick me" and people watered my plot for me when they visited (I did the same for other sad-looking plots that weren't obviously abandoned).

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
