Week 8

I have not yet harvested my own food, but I am anticipating the moment that I do. I will feel a sense of pride as bring vegetables that I grew from my garden to my kitchen. This will be my first time harvest any vegetables, so I am sure I will be very excited. Already, this week in the garden I was excited to see the growth of my plants. Most notably, my onions were doing fantastic! The last time I saw them, they were just stubs. Now they are sprouting and have grown quite tall. I cannot wait for the day where I can harvest them. I am hopeful that most of my plants will be successful and I will be able to harvest them. This week I pulled all of the weeds out of my garden and laid down hay to try and prevent them from growing so quickly in the future. I also planted collards, brussel sprouts and broccoli, all of which I am anticipating harvesting. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am hoping that I will be able to use some of the vegetables from my garden for cooking at thanksgiving. It will be awesome to be able to say I grew the food that everyone is enjoying!
