Gardening gardener.

Summer days are here and being thrilled is an understatement. Of course I still need to finish my summer block classes first to have it be OFFICIALLY summer, but nonetheless, I. Am. Thrilled. Speaking of school, it is cray cray to think that my youngest sister just graduated! Wow. I am old. It was so fun watching her get her diploma. My little baby is just growing up. I am excited for her to take classes because unfortunately I still have Math and Biology to take care of and we will be in those classes together! Embarassing, but fun. Anyways back to summer, there are lots of reasons of course why I am so thrilled that it is the lazy season, but my most favorite one is the fact that I get start planting my garden again this year. Yes folks, I am a gardener. Not a joke, not hipster, I have just enjoyed it ever since I was a little kid and it is something that I can hopefully have in my own home. A lot of my memories are helping and watching my grandpas work in their garden and I can't tell you how satisfying and AMAZING it feels to watch something that you helped grow!... and then eat it. Surprisingly I love getting my hands and feet dirty from the soil and I feel extremely accomplished after a hard days work. Also, the only reason why I get even a smidge of color on my skin is from being outside taking care of those babies, it is such a good excuse to just be outside and enjoy nature (I promise this is not hipster). I am lucky though because both sets of my grandparents are excellent in this "field" (get it?! FIELD) so I have aquired plenty of professional advice pertaining to this experience which means that my green beans will be nothing short of their prime. Although my garden is not quite as big as theres, it will most definately do and I still love it. This year I decided to plant carrots, watermelon, cantelope, and green beans along with the up keeping of my raspberry bushes (for those of you who were interested in knowing:)). I hope they will work out, that is my hope for all you fellow gardeners out there, best wishes and may the gardening odds be ever in your favor.
