Success!

Ok, at first glance, this next blog may be ridiculous. I apologize over my excitement over simple things.

This summer I decided to experiment with my first ever attempt at container gardening. I purchased a Roma tomato plant, that also included 6 different herbs, and I bought 3 different pepper plants-red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and some other kind of hot pepper.

I am the very proud parent of several Roma tomatoes!



This ripe one ended up in my shrimp and pasta dish last night....YUM!

Before my first tomato baby succumbed to my dinner, I made sure to document my achievement:


hahahaha

And I have just a few peppers, that should be ready within a week or two and hopefully there will be more, but if I only produce a few, I'll be ok with that.





(and yes, that's Maggie's leg in the background. She wonder why in the world I was taking pictures of a pepper plant....the neighbors probably wondered as well.)
