and then it was summer

The weeks are flying by, and it's hard to believe it's been only six since the raised beds were just boxes of dirt. The cherry tomato is seven feet tall and giving the scarecrow a run for his money.

The garden grows faster than I can blog about it, and I think I am more committed to gardening than blogging. That's a good thing, right?

I will post again soon on recent memorable food moments! There have been many.
