Living out of a tiny hotel refrigerator.....
Eating mainly sushi, salads, and peanut butter (and missing my homemade ice cream!)....
I returned home for the weekend! I arrived last night and after a romantic embrace with Nick (hehe, not really) I ran quickly to the garden to see how much my babies had grown. Nick showed me this giant pumpkin vine (below), which means we'll at least have a couple pumpkins by the time fall comes!
And we even have a winter squash coming in. Isn't she cute?
The kale has grown a ton in the past 5 days, I couldn't believe it.
My last post was about the organic pesticide that Nick and I created. A couple of you asked if it was working and the answer is that we don't really know. We still see some bugs, but I don't think any pesticide keeps 100% of the bugs away, right? In our minds it's working well.

Coming Up
Tonight Nick and I are meeting some friends at a food and wine festival. Monday (before I leave for Pittsburgh again) I'll post a recap, plus an almond butter review.
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Thanks for reading!

There's nothing better about coming home after being away. And I'm so jealous of your pumpkins! I've always wanted to grow them, but I'm not too sure Arizona is the right climate... :/
