We've Got Color!!

Today I was greeted to a surprise. When I was starting my gardening I found one of our strawberries had started to get color!

The Start

So I have started a blog on my adventures in gardening. I don't have that much experience so I have a feeling I am going to be learning a lot. I have started with different types of tomato plants, a couple of herbs, broccoli, cucumber, different peppers, strawberries, cantaloupe, crookneck squash, arugula, and romaine.

Once the basil gets big enough I am going to pull some out and put them into smaller pots. Then I can give them to friends as gifts. I think it would be a fun thing to do and it would thin the basil so it wouldn't crowed out the tomato plants. So today was round two with t...
