i have been so pumped that the things in my garden have grown so well this year.  i have finally figured out what grows well in that area and when and i possess a new found love for swiss chard!  and they all grew from tiny little seeds...
i've got:

sunflowers just for general prettiness,

delicious swiss chard:

marigolds to keep pests away:

and herbs, herbs, herbs- dill, mint, and cilantro:

yum!
