A Working Blog Post Title Production*

Contrary to my initial fears, my garden appears to be growing. The basil isn’t looking too hot – I fear the wicked winds out here might have carried most of the teeny-tiny basil seeds off into seed heaven – and the jury’s still out on the Swiss chard and the carrots, but the corn, green beans, beets, and zucchini all appear to be flourishing. I was a little depressed about my tomato plants, which are looking a little yellow and dry, but this past weekend, my mother-in-law and Chris’s grandma pointed out three tiny tomatoes that were a-growing! And then today after work, when I went outside to pay some love to my baby (my baby is my garden, yes, my life has taken a turn for the lame), I spotted another little tomato! Exciting times here, obvs.

Still on the garden track, since it’s all I’ve got going on these days, we planted some roses. The pink ones are budding (is that what roses do? Do they bud? Or do they just, like, grow?) like crazy! So much so that I was able to cut off a bud and put it in my…wait for it…bud vase! The bud vase that I usually use to drink champagne out of! (Sadly that was not my idea; I stole that from my mom, who is way cooler than I am.)

To round out the riveting awesomeness of this post, here are a couple pictures of my garden. The first picture is from when we initially planted everything; the second one is after we put in a gravel path two weekends ago:

*Chris just asked me what my blog post title was. I told him I didn’t know yet, so he asked me what the working title was. Here you go.
