And So It Grows

Ann Again... and again
Rob's herbs

While his job is full of stress (computer tech), Rob turns to our yard to do something he truly enjoys - gardening.  The sage, rosemary, thyme and... are those beets? ... look beautiful.

Do you enjoy gardening?  What's your favorite vegetable to have straight from the garden?  I don't think anything can beat a fresh tomato.
