First Peas and Cherry Tomatoes



I have some exciting news to announce, I have my very first peas and my first cherry tomatoes! I did it, I actually grew something. Okay, so you're probably rolling your eyes but when I first started these seedlings, especially the tomatoes, I was certain they would be dead in no time. Not a very good attitude, I know, but considering I have never grown anything, and I basically did everything wrong, I think I was being realistic in not getting my hopes up too high. I can't begin to express how rewarding it was to eat that first pea. I swear, it was the best pea I have ever eaten! Just wait until those cute tomatoes ripen, oh dear. I started my garden with love and good intentions but now that I have come to know the sweet taste of success, there's no looking back. This Suburban Hoe is a certified gardening junkie.

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel great? And those first little ones always taste the best. We're still a few weeks behind you guys, but I can't wait, and you've rekindled the excitement!
