Gardening plans

 It's been dark and gloomy again the past few days, so I have started planning my garden for this year. It's a bit early, but at least one of the plants I want to grow is not going to be easy to find.

Most of the plants I grow are edible, either for me or for my bunny. Often both, my bunny and I like much the same kind of food. Which is amusing, since my parents and older brother often mocked me for my strange food choices by calling everything I ate "rabbit food" (meaning that they felt what I ate was unfit for human consumption, when in fact rabbits tend to be more fussy about food than humans. If it is even a tiny bit wilted, the bunny won't touch it whereas most humans would eat it and not even notice.)

Anyways, here is what I wish to grow this year, at least some of them:

Giant Italian parsley

Cucumber

Chard


Broccoli

Basil

Leeks

Ozette Potato



Carrots
(Not my pictures, by the way, just found online. I'll try to remember to take pictures of the garden this year, I completely forgot to last year.)

I really like growing my own food. I am not at all good at growing plants, I never have been. Most plants under my care do not survive. I think it is super-awesome that a plant can grow from a seed. I know scientifically how it works, but it still is a little miracle to me every time a plant sprouts from a seed. It is so exciting to grow plants.
