rainbow carrots and rhubarb
I’m glad eating colourful food is pretty much the healthiest way to eat, ’cause man have I got that down.
What you see here are local, organic, red onions (although really, purple is a more accurate description) some cherry-red cherry tomatoes and local, organic, RAINBOW CARROTS (they are green and yellow and orange and oh-so pretty)!!! The carrots and onions came in our Organic food box, just in case you were wondering how that turned out (pretty well, all though we still have a few kinks regarding ordering that we have to work out).
And in case you were wondering about how our garden is growing, it’s growing pretty well. This weekend we took a trip to ikea for some patio furniture and then we had a talk with our downstairs neighbor about how to split up the veggie plot.
Next up I think we need to grab some seeds and start sprouting them.
I see neon coloured swiss chard and sweet little strawberries in my future. I also see some home made rhubarb pies - there is already some pink stalks poking up in one corner of the garden and I am SOOOO excited. We love us some rhubarb around here, and I haven’t had fresh stuff in a really, really long time.

mmmm, that looks so good. I just planted tomato plants, and hope to blog about them soon. but my blog is not as colourful as yours. in fact, when I do finally post some pictures of my tomato plants, there will be a lot of brown (dirt), and itty bitty little green and white sprouts, but not much else. is it wrong, that I’m so excited about the growth of my tomato plants, that I take pictures of them, sometimes twice a day?

I only just got started on my tomato seeds (I bought a pack of heirloom ones - in every colour of the rainbow!). I’m hoping it’s not too late, but I’ll probably have to supplement them with a couple store-bought plants come victoria day weekend (official tomato planting day, if you didn’t know). So, the pictures of dirt? They’re coming.
