The Garden of Eden...

I've taken quite the fancy to this little garden of Eden that we are slowly but surely, cultivating. The time that one can while away just inspecting the garden is quite phenomenal. This week has seen the biggest bounty sown from the land; basil, parsley, chives for cooking, Mint for lovely fresh drinks and finally our first tomato! The tomatoes are small, of the Roma variety, but boy was I proud when the first one turned its orangy red! YUM!

The growth that our garden has experienced in the past four weeks but particularly the last one is quite remarkable! The tomatoes have grown about 10inches taller, the new leaves on all plants are noticeable, large yellow flowers on the zucchini, cucumber and watermelon and large green leaves on the pumpkin, that threatens to submerge the whole garden into perpetual darkness! Even with doom threatening, I can't be happier, the garden is a flurry of excitement and a hive of activity! I would never have thought I would say, or write this, but I get a pang of excitement as I walk out the door each morning to see what has become of our garden of Eden!
