Because Growing Children, a Dog and a Couple of Businesses Just Didn't Feel Like Enough Responsibility.

Inspired by my mother-in-law, my sister, and my oldest son's incessant nagging that he really REALLY wants a broccoli bush, we have officially taken up gardening. (In a very small way). As of two days ago we are the proud keepers of some leafy dirt pots that will (hopefully) eventually yield sweet banana peppers, jalapenos, basil, cucumbers, string beans and sunflowers. Oh, and a topsy turvy for cherry tomatoes. Because we all know how much I love anything sold via infomercial.

Unfortunately for Casey, no broccoli bush. Maybe next year, kiddo.
