Back and Better Than Ever!!

So the first Farm Share rolled around and surprised me. Sadly, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't make the most of it. As a matter of fact, I didn't even take my weirder greens (kholrabi, again??) and rhubarb because I knew I wouldn't even use it.

This is the stuff I brought home. There was some spinach and lettuce and broccoli and a delightful tomato. But the stars were the strawberries. So fresh and delicious. Loved them!

 Okay, that's it. Didn't cook a damned thing. But since I have all this space and haven't posted in forever, I will show you my non-sedentary home improvements. First of all, the bathroom.

The bathroom used to open to a beautiful view of the toilet with a bunch of tile that chopped up this already small room into tiny pieces. 

Now, the potty is discreetly tucked behind the shower, the vanity is stunning and the glass walled shower opened the hell out of the place!

I have to say the M.F. Goodwin & Company is absolutely amazing.

 Now as far as the yard goes. You may remember how much I have always hated this shrubbery~

Good Lord, it just took over the whole front of the house.

This bed I just cut back. No biggie...

This is the showpiece. Shawn assures me that I will be able to climb those tomato plants like beanstalks (the magical kind) in no time at all. 

And I have lots of basil.

Because basil is the best. 

So there will be lots of tomatoes, basil, eggplants, cukes, peppers, zucchini and lettuce (not shown because I just planted the lettuce and zucchini yesterday) and I will be getting pea pods at some point. 

 This is my bed of weeds according to Shawn and my friend Farmer Brian. It is supposed to be wildflowers from this place my mom loves in Texas, but they assure me that this is shameful and should be eradicated. We shall see what happens here. I will post farm pics as well as farm share pics until I lose interest and it all turns to dust!

See you in a few days!
