I'm no Alice Waters

But I do understand the connection people make with the land when they grow their own food.

I love to cook and have always wanted to create edible gardens. So this year, I decided I would make this passion a personal mission using my own yard, well actually pots in front of my apartment, since I do not have a yard. Here's my red chard from this winter,

and a salad I made using greens from my "yard", mesculin lettuce and baby chard.





With spring upon us I decided I needed to expand my edible explorations and take over my mother's back yard. Did plenty of research.

Starting small, I'm giving her some peas, baby spinach, strawberries and blueberries. In a few months I'll expand to summer plantings and have some fruits of my labor to share with you.
