Our First Garden Adventure

My wonderful Aunt Chris gave us everything we needed to start an herb garden (except for my trusty orange trowel and gardening apron–those were from Brad’s wonderful Aunt Mary), so last Saturday, we dug in. Get it, get it?

I’m afraid people will look at me in this picture and say, “Oh my gosh, there it is, she’s letting herself go a mere WEEK after being married!” But really, I was just having a bad hair day. And my clothes didn’t match. But whatever. At least I have an awesome garden apron equipped with garden gloves and a trowel.

Here I am planting. Ignore the socks with the shorts. I wear socks inside (and apparently outside) in an attempt to keep my feet clean and soft. I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.

More intense planting.

I am SO excited about our little herb garden AND my garden apron.

And finally, the finished pot. I really think this will make our grounds (read: tiny patio) look lovely once it grows.
