Growing Things: A New Hobby

So the other day Brent came home with a big smile on his face and a bag. Inside was a sprout growing kit. He picked out peas for our first time, and as you can see, they grew wonderfully! It only took a few days, and it was really fun to see them sprout. They are also a wonderful snack. I am addicted and may be turning our kitchen into a sprout farm soon. Who knows? 



As I talked about before, Brent and I rented a community garden plot. See look! That's our name on the map!


Here's a view of the whole garden. It's not that big, but it's super nice and well kept. 


Our plot isn't that big, but here it is in all it's glory.


Here are some glamour shots of our plants:

Kale:


Peas:


Radishes:


Lettuce:


Carrots: 


And this is the watering system. It's on a timer of 30 mins so you just turn and leave. 


You'd think a garden would be enough for us. But we are out to plant the world people. We've got plants growing in our kitchen, in out living room, in a garden, and also on the front porch. So here is our pot of radishes. 



So there's the huge update on our plants. Gotta love them. However, I'm very excited for when I can actually eat something. It's all about the food. 

Brent and I will be taking a WE ARE DONE WITH SCHOOL (for now) trip next week to Zion's National Park, so I'm sure some very handsome pictures of Brent and some red-faced puffing up the mountain pictures of me will be happening soon.
