Don't Be Jealous of THIS Green Thumb!

We moved here just a little too late in the season. Just a little too late to start a true vegetable garden. So I had to be creative, had to settle, had to use a bit of technology. Or so I thought... But either way, I have a garden, fresh veggies, fresh herbs, lots of green!


Come to find out the Kitsap Peninsula is rather weird. It has its own climate, its own number and color on all the gardening charts. Apparently, very different from the rest of Washington. Where we live allows for a year round growing season for many plants - the weather is considered fairly mild. This means, I can grow radishes, lettuces, strawberries, and more outside, year round, without too much fear. Then for the pickier plants, there are distinct times to plant anything but tropicals - bananas, unfortunately are not in our future.


So now, since we were cautious in the beginning - Chad and I have a thriving inside and outside garden. Outside we have radishes, lettuce, beets, strawberries and rosemary. While inside, we have an herb garden (in the AeroGarden) with Thyme, Oregano, Basil, Mint, Parsley, and Savory.

There is nothing like a spaghetti and salad dinner, made with mostly things you have grown yourself - fresh, tasty and as local as it gets.

Oh yeah, our Christmas Cactus LOVES it here!
