This is the year I'm finally giving the green light to my vegetable garden. :)
My son's encouragement was necessary for me to take action.
Yep, he really wanted it.
He likes to cook, mix ingredients, and try new herbs. Though he's still a picky eater. :/
That's another reason why I wanted to grow my own vegetables. It's a good way for him to try new things, and by growing them himself, he might be more tempted to try them and enjoy them. Crossing my fingers. ;)
In past years, I've grown herbs in the comfort of my own kitchen. A little box on the window sill was all I dared handle. They did OK; some plants did better than others, but I was happy with the experience overall.
