Fruition

I get that gardens are supposed to grow. Plants plus water plus light equals growth but this seems a little intense here in Seattle. Dustin has a green thumb and then some.
As of May 30th:


Currently:




If you remember back to May 2009, Dustin began gardening with little more interest than wanting to provide food for our very future baby. He was suffering from the paternal worry that his love would not be enough to nurture the baby and I as we grow together as a family. He did get such a huge amount of produce from that first crop (over 30 pounds of tomatoes and Italian squash that would make many folks blush in it's phallic girth) but Alden was just a couple of months old and not ready for solids. But this year? Dustin not only picked, scrubbed, and cooked up this here carrot, but he wept while he did it. He is so proud to help feed our guy and not just make the monies.
