The chocolate cake really was a total looker, and everyone loved it!

Shelly, I feel your pain. I feel so lucky to have space to garden! Maybe there’s a community garden plot?
Jude, I didn’t name it, David Lebovitz did! the thought is that only an idiot could mess it up. I’m not sure I agree…but it turned out well despite the fact that I forgot to wrap the bottoms.

Please don’t smoke! I promise I’ll eat more chocolate. =)

Chocolate idiot cake? It looks like I need an engineering degree to make that thing.
That menu is way too healthy for me. I may need to start smoking now.

I grew up gardening with my father…oh how I miss those days. I’ve been an apartment dweller for most of my adult life, so no garden – yours is fab!

Gosh, I tried to grow corn last year and it was humorous…granted, I’m allergic to corn, it was for DH. But they shot up a foot, then stopped. I pulled the roots and they were infested by ants! gross.

Best advice for growing: find an experienced gardener, and get them to show you the ropes. All climates are different. It’s still really hit or miss for me, but oh, do I love the whole process.

I can’t wait to start growing vegetables in my brand new home! I totally know how you feel since I attempted to grow lettuce here in the city but the moisture and poor soil killed my babies. I was so excited to see the little sprouts but I got very upset when they died.

If you have any gardening tips, do share~ I’m all ears – of corn?..Bad joke..

Menu sounds great! I need to check the Daring Baker challenge- I don’t even know what it is yet! haha… What a crazy month it has been. Chocolate cake looks sooo good!

I just harvested the first tomatoes from my tomato plants- they’re so yummy and fresh.

Your garden looks amazing! I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well my one tomato plant and one jalapeno plant are doing (also courtesy of the rain, I’d wager), but have no idea about garden maintenance. Can’t wait to try out the bounty!
