How Does Your Garden Grow?

It was sunny and hot today.

The perfect kind of hot day: not ridiculously humid, very windy. Pam and I worked very hard in the morning so we wouldn't be in the heat too much in the afternoon. I spent a small chunk of the morning weeding the "house garden." Pam uses a lot of mulch and plants some things in black plastic so there aren't a tonne of weeds.

Behold- the house garden:

In here you see onions and beans and peas and zuchinni and carrots and cucumbers (which will climb up strings stretched between those white posts) and broccoli and cabbage...

There are many beautiful leaves in this garden. Among my favourites:

Beets

Red Cabbage

Winter Cabbage

It's been five weeks since I arrived here (holy cats!) and nearly a weeks since I've written (I'm sorry).

Also, my worm phobia is improving. Today, while weeding, I found a poor little worm, writhing on the carpet between the beans and the beets. So I took a deep breath, picked him up, put him back on the dirt, and covered him up. I did not scream or flinch. I'm not sure which is more impressive, this bare-handed worm saving, or the fact that the last two times I pumped gas for Pam I managed to get it $20 on the dot.
