(TEXT BELOW IS AN OLD POST FROM 2022)


No home is complete without a garden so we decided to start our own. This is our first time growing a garden from scratch without the help of our green-thumbed parents--who literally ran a thriving organic product/garden business from their backyard. Yeah they're impressive.

Anywho, it's spring 2022 and you know we cook a lot. So, to add even more work to our already hectic lives, we started an herb garden. The majority of the greens are herbs, but we sprinkled in a couple of vegetables. What we have so far:

  • Green Onions
  • Italian Basil
  • Peppermint
  • Cilantro
  • Kale
  • Bok Choy
  • Jalapeno
  • Tomato
