I don't know if you guys have heard about earth boxes because I never had. But some of the girls in my ward were making them so I jumped on the band wagon and made one too. I felt like I should try and have some sort of garden and maybe it would help me get into gardening some day. They are boxes we made out of rubber storage tubs that you plant in and you don't have to remember to water them except for about every two weeks. It's perfect for me because I just switched to a fake plant in our living room since I had habitually killed real plants for five years now from forgetting to water them. Although a flower pot would work just as good as long as you water the plants. Here is Hailey modeling one of our growing tomatoes.
And here she is harvesting our first tomato
Now I just don't know what to do with the tomatoes. This one happened to be put on hamburgers on Memorial Day. And I attempted to make some salsa, which turned out pretty good. But I just don't know what I'm going to do with them, I need to get better at my vegetable cooking.

I'm jealous. I want a garden. I've heard that home grown tomatoes taste really good. Good Job Julie! Don't forget to start your book of Motherhood to pass down to me like we talked about on the phone... As if you have all of the time in the world. Ha Ha
By the way, Hailey is so beautiful. She is looking more and more like you everyday.
I wish we were close, we could definitely take some of those tomatoes off your hands! I've finally converted Paul to liking them. I think we're going to try to grow some in a little pot or planter in our apartment.
