Most of my marinades have called for lemon juice.
I can't quite put into words how much fun it is for me to walk into our backyard and pull a lemon off our tree to use for cooking. This got me fired up to plant a garden.
So I did.
I planted some regular stuff like strawberries, squash, and tomatoes.
I also planted some fun things like chocolate mint, lemon thyme, and jalapeños. I don't know what I'm going make with chocolate mint, but if it tastes anything like it smells... yum.
This is kind of a science project for me. If it goes well, then next year I want to try growing everything from seeds.
It's been 2 days and they're still alive. Wahoo!

Way to go on the garden! It is so fun having fresh food to eat! Love it! Wow! Hanna is a getting so big! I guess she likes to grill too eh?
And PS yes the haircut is new and thanks!
hehe! Good luck on the next 2 days, weeks, & months! I am all for self-sufficiency ('specially after reading all these "Little House" books!)
Grilling is also a GREAT way to cut down on power usage & HOUSE HEATING :P! Way to go, Lisa!
They should do well as long as Carli's not responsible for watering them.

Nice job on the garden! It is certainly more than I have tried. I hope that it grows well for you!
I was also wondering if you could email me your address at kmstradling@yahoo.com
Thanks, Kristy
Chocolate Mint is AWESOME when you add it to hot chocolate!
