Once Upon a Garden...

 Hey Everybody,

One thing I love to see are gardens. Now, not just any ordinary garden but one that instantly makes you happy when you walk in it! One with many varieties of flowers, trellises and food. 

I will tell you if I didn't have my garden I would never eat green vegetables.

This year I have started with cantaloupe, basil, strawberries, hot peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini. So far all of that is happy and healthy. 

I did kill some cilantro I got from a friend. I felt bad because it made her sad and that cilantro was really rad! (Heh.. I didn't know it but I'm a poet) Lets just say that was Gods way of telling me that me and cilantro aren't meant to be together. 

I did get the basil to make two things: basil brownies and pesto. 

The brownies turned out good but were very time consuming. The taste was very interesting and everyone that tried them said they thought they tasted like mint chocolate. Of course not everyone enjoyed them. That is just the way life works, the good news is I only had one person spit it in the trash can. It must have been too tasty.

 I haven't taken a try at pesto but that will be my next adventure. Please let me know if you have made either one and which one is your favorite!

I hope this encourages you to make your own sanctuary or eat your vegetables...whatever works!

Always remember: "Sometimes you have to live on the wild side, have faith and trust that everything is going to be okay!"
