I want to grow something. I want to make something. For a few weeks now I keep thinking about planting vegetables, herbs and fruit. As the weather started to shift towards spring it was all I could think about. Taking my son out and putting him in the shade with some toys while I weed and pick whatever is ripe. The problem is there isn't a way to plant a garden here. The lawn sprinklers use reclaimed water and can't be used to water anything you'll eat. I'm thinking about planting something in a pot on the lanai like tomatoes and herbs. It won't be happening until next year though. It will be too hot now.
It's not going to be a total loss though. My mom and Jake are going to show me how to can and I'm going to make some stuff this year. I'm really excited to learn. She's going to show me how to make and can chutney, salsa, jams and dilly beans. This fall is going to be informative and fulfilling. There isn't a whole lot more to talk about here. I just want to make and grow things... I should start crafting again too.
