Throughout my life, I’ve always tried to eat healthy, but when I moved out of my parents house nearly four years ago, my immediate thought was “crap…I have to cook?” With that said, I found a fabulous guy who does the cooking for me. Sam is in charge of the grocery shopping too, as I am not a fan of this either. The majority of our shopping cart is fresh produce. Produce that has most likely been sprayed with harmful chemicals and shipped from far ends of the earth. So, what’s a girl to do?
Grow your own.
After a year of being on the waiting list for the Community Garden on Irving/ Myrtle Street, Sam and I will be growing our own FRESH produce. What’s on the the menu for far?
Cherry, yellow, and steak tomatoes
Spinach
Red and green lettuce
Sweet Basil
Beets
Green Onion and garlic
Yellow carrots
We inherited a poppy flower plant, an iris, and few unidentifiable herbs. I also planted a bunch of sunflowers seeds. Fortunately, the organization provides us with donated tools and mulch, so our investment was only a $20 donation. Oh, yeah and everything in the garden has to be organic and natural.
