Dream Garden

I often dream of my future home and I spend a lot of time on the garden. I can picture myself planting, weeding, harvesting and preserving. Its been a dream of mine for awhile.  

Zucchinis - to eat, make relish, freeze for bread through the winter
Cucumbers - Nora is a fiend
Peppers bells - because bell peppers can actually have a smell and real flavor if they r fresh
Carrots - because a little bit of organic soil adds to the flavor and because Jordan and Nora gobble them up when they come fresh from a garden
Potatoes - because harvesting potatoes is a treasured childhood memory
Green beans - my favorite
Peas - so I can snack and then shell them on the porch and pretend I'm in another era
Broccoli- soups, with cheese, delicious
Sweet potatoes - cause they are tasty
Lettuce - can u say fresh salad all summer?
Tomato, cherry and reg - because if you've never had a home grown tomato you haven't lived
Onions - cause they have a flavor and a punch unmatched
Rhubarb - because it makes the best jam

Strawberries - duh
Raspberries - because you cant afford to buy them and if done right can be the size of a big grape

Apple tree - they r pretty and I love making applesauce
Cherry tree - cherry pie filling canned in the pantry? Yes please. O and springtime beauty unparalleled
Walnut tree - because Jordan loves walnuts, the tree is beautiful and because he has one in front of the house he grew up in and there is still a resident squirrel that will yell and throw walnuts at you.

What do u dream about?
