So Much Fun

I just love having a garden so much. I wish I could just plant all kinds of things just to see what they turn into and look like. I am really enjoying growing heirloom plants this year, each one is so unique. Names are cool too, like this Cosmic Purple carrot. I have never grown carrots before, so I had no idea how they were doing or when they should be pulled. I guess they still need to go a little longer, but its neat seeing a purple carrot. The cucumber is an heirloom plant also, called an Early Russian. And especially fun was finding a ripe Russian Black Krim. I can't wait to taste it tomorrow. I had to look up pictures of this particular tomato since I have never grown this kind before and had no idea what it should look like. I have already dried a couple jars of Dark Purple Opal basil and the Giant of Italy parsley. I only wish my garden was 4x the size it is. Oh well, maybe it will just have to grow some more next year.
