A project that Sam and I have taken up is a small veggie garden. Since watching Food inc and following the food revolution ( ♥ Jamie Oliver) I have become very interested in nutrition and where our food comes from. It is a dream of mine to own a self sustaining farm one day. And if Eddie would hunt or we could join a meat co-op, that would be great!
So, we have been watering and monitoring and watching out for the occasional nasty spider and it looks like our efforts have paid off, somewhat. We have 4 tomato plants, all of which have no less than 7 tomatoes growing and beans are getting pods. Still no sign of cucumbers or zucchinis, but I'm not worried.
Sam is beside himself with glee that the tomatoes are growing. He loves tomatoes more than any other food ever, and he has to run and check their growth twice a day, just to make sure they haven't turned red yet. He cannot wait for that glorious day, when he can pick his very own tomatoes!
Too bad we can't own chickens here, I would be all over that.
