Week 2

My garden is named "The Roots". This is a clever reference to the band The Roots, who now plays on the Jimmy Fallon show. I picked this name to signify that my garden will have strong roots that will produce the best possible fruit or vegetable. I plan on learning how long a certain fruit or vegetable takes to grow from seed to harvest. I have always had a hit or miss on taking care of plants, so being able to have my own garden will be a learning experience of itself.

I am most excited for the harvest. Just like fresh eggs, fresh off the plant is incomparable to store bought food. My friend had her own chickens and they always had the freshest, most delicious eggs. My cousin grows her own vegetables and fruits, she makes the best salsa. I am also very interested in cooking and baking. I would love to incorporate freshly picked fruits or vegetables into my meals. My favorites are onion, peppers, and strawberries, all of which can be home grown. I once had my own tomato plant that bloomed over fifty little cherry tomatoes. Those were so good to put in salads and salsa, something I look forward in this class.
