We had tossed up the idea of either hiring contractors to remodel the kitchen versus doing it ourselves. At first, I was like - where do you want me to sign? - but then after careful consideration and a look at our budget, we decided to tackle the project ourselves.
I successfully planted a variety of vegetables at the beginning of the summer, and now most of them have either finished growing for the season or are close to it. At this point, I am eagerly waiting for the larger tomatoes to turn red so that I can harvest the last of my basil. After that, Caprese salads will be the only dish on my menu for the rest of the summer.
I have an update on my backyard edible garden project. Initially, I had planned to build thousands of planter boxes, hang raspberry vines from the roof, and use every workable space in my backyard for the garden. However, I have realized that I want some space to lounge and sip margaritas or lemonade in the sun. Therefore, I have decided to scale back the garden and allocate some space for my relaxation activities.
