The First Radish!

Finally, after weeks of work, the first radish popped up ready to be picked today.  Sure, it was the only thing in the garden that was ready, but one veggie is better than no veggies.

So here is my beloved radish!  It is fresh out of the garden in the picture.  It did not last too long, since now it is in my stomach.  I am a big fan of radishes.

Let's Go to the Park!

I happen to be fairly broke right now, but considering it is Friday, I have the day off, and it is wonderful weather outside, it seemed like I should do something.  My fiance and I decided to take our dog to the park.

No matter how poor I am, I have to remind myself sometimes that there are free activities that are just as fun as activities that cost money.  The park is one of those things.  Not only was our dog happy to get out and play, he got to meet some new people that thought he was adorable.  It was nice to walk around in 70 degree weather, too.  

This particular park is close to the water, so there was some nice scenery, adorable ducks, and a good breeze.  It was a good day.  I hope everyone can take the time to enjoy a nice adventure this coming weekend, even if you may have to work, which I will have to do for part of the weekend.  Life is short and it is good to appreciate it sometimes.

The Garden is Coming Along

There are days when I wonder if the garden will really pay off, but today, while working on getting some weeds out, I realized the garden is really coming along.  I am eager to see what happens next.

I am not sure if I want to plant a garden next year, but for this year, I am going to keep it going to see how the vegetables grow.  As far as I can tell, the hardest of the work is over.  Now is the time to sit back and wait to see how many veggies we can get out of it.  If it makes financial sense, perhaps a garden is worth the work next year.
