Come On In! Summer Cottage "Garden"

First of all, Thank You for taking a peek at my Tin Man's blog! We FINALLY saw "The Proposal" over the weekend. I wanted to review The Proposal...I waited all June and most of July to see that movie! So- if you hop on over to Movies In Oz, I am the guest blogger. In our summer town-a very small town-there is one theater that shows two movies...No "Mega" Movie Chains here, so I have had a lesson in patience waiting for that movie...While I waited this summer-

This is what I have been working on:

The Cottage "Garden"~

We also have blueberries, and wild strawberries~but the kids eat them as they find them, and they are all gone...

AND...

If you are expecting a "gourmet" garden, with succulent plants-

you are on the wrong blog.

Really wrong.

When I say "Garden", I am using the term very loosely.

Very.

This is my garden:

Come on! Don't you know what that is??!!

It looks like weeds, I know. But in my defense, it is actually lettuce.

Tiny, baby lettuce. But lettuce all the same.

It has made a few yummy salads.

Actually-it is growing quite fast, so I may eat a few more salads in August.

That is next week, I know-but I have high hopes.

This is our basil and tomato plants:

Potted so prettily, and I am also hoping to get a few tomatoes before the end of summer to add to my homegrown lettuce patch.

We'll see.

Time will tell~

I just thought you would like to see the extent of my green thumb.

I can water-

but maybe too much...

And I can hope-

I hear it springs eternal....
