So it turns out I don't have a black thumb, I just had anemic dirt. The cure? Guano. The translation: seabird poo. Here's my first lettuce harvest (from last month).
Sweet little 6 month old.
The photo that will disqualify me from that Mom-of-the-year contest.
Basil harvest!
So one day a couple of weeks ago Ellis decided she wanted to start writing letters, so that's what she did. Homeschooling is going to be so easy if she keeps doing things without my help.
Maci is finally starting to hold her own in the sister arena :)
Why did I include this photo? Keep scrolling to see what came next...
Ha! Where she stayed for half a minute, or so. Not sure if she fell asleep for a second, or if this was somehow comfortable.
If you've never grown food, might I recommend starting with lettuce. Grows fast and easily, even without the nitrogen rich bird poo.
On a day I was feeling a bit frustrated and hopeless over how poorly our garden was doing, I planted something here. I think it's squash of some sort. But because I had the attitude of, it's not like it's actually going to GROW, so what's the point of marking it?? I didn't mark it and now I'm anxiously waiting to see what comes out of this plant.
We had a fun time catching up with some Ochockis the other day. Here's a funny (to me) one of Grayson (Greyson?) and Maci. It reminds me of Grant Wood's American Gothic.
