Peppers, tomato, rosemary, crazy looking peas, frisee, and guard for Blue.
Table of lechugas, herbs, and the bigger Bailey
Onions and more lechuga
And back inside the house we have tomatoes 
and cucumbers looking nice as they sprout up. This has been a huge success so far and I’m really proud of Mindy’s farm…..much better than Farmville!

Mindy went to a plant sale this weekend and purchased a few more things for me to cook with. Butterhead lettuce, rosemary, endive, a jalapeno plant, and one of these:
Hungarian paprika! I love paprika! Hungarian isn’t sweet like the Spanish version but it’s still a favorite of mine. Oh, she also bought a more functional bay leaf tree for me since Bailey is going to take a while….. Crazy Mindy, always thinking logically…..
BONUS PLANT BONUS PLANT BONUS PLANT!!!!!
My sister bought me a basil plant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I have to start thinking of ways to cook with this stuff….. I’m up for the challenge!!!

Cilantro is starting to sprout! I’m so excited about that because I love cilantro. I read a story earlier in the week about how there are people that don’t like cilantro because they think it tastes soapy….WTF!?!??!?!? Soapy tasting or not cilantro is a force to be reckoned with. I grew up on the stuff so anyone who doesn’t like cilantro is now friend of mine…. Yes, I drew a line in the sand….pick the side with cilantro and me on it, we’ll cook some great stuff together!
Chives!!!!
Micro greens waiting for me to create something amazing. Mindy, you’re farm is incredible!!!

Awwww, she’s so cute. Enough of this being cute business, get to work so I can use those leaves soon.
Sooooooo cute though!!

Dramatic movie sequel titles always make things cooler.
Last year Mindy planted a nomad herb garden for me (click) so I could stop spending so much money at the store. I completely depleted that herb garden in less than 10 meals so this year she decided to take on a bigger project.
Instead of using starts she decided to start from seeds (high five to self on that little play of words). We’re not really nomads this year because we have settled into West Seattle for a little while so she is going to be experimenting in pots again and in the ground. I’m excited and she’s nervous. Worst case scenario we’ll order pizza or something.
Here’s the list of food coming soon:
We’re starting to build an empire here. Mindy will grow the food, I’ll cook it, and my sister is considering going to sommelier school. Keep it in the family!
