Week 3

Word of the week is "Start"! This is my garden on Day 0. To me, looks like a lot of dirt but with endless possibilities.  I decided to grow some onions, radishes, and sunflowers. I am most excited to eat the onion because it is one of my favorite vegetables. 

I have always been one to want to eat what I grow, and this is why this class was so perfect for me to incorporate into my schedule. Last year, my roommate and myself grew tomatoes and various lettuce plants to eat with our salads. Now, I have a basil plant with my roommate and we pick it off to make our appetizers that have a tomato and mozzarella slice, basil leaves, and some balsamic glaze on top. It is purely divine and fresh.

I am extremely excited to watch this garden grow because they do grow so fast! I remember my first tomato plant was so small and then all of a sudden, the end of semester came up, and I had all these little cherry tomatoes ready to harvest! Having a garden makes you realize how to appreciate fresh ingredients and high-quality food. I would recommend everyone to take this class and experience growing your own food!
