Learning to Garden

This summer I am going to grow food. Gardening in Arizona consisted of nothing but giant zucchini that we would throw into our neighbors pool. I don't remember anything else actually surviving the heat. In Georgia my mom grew tomatoes, and in Auburn growing food is the last thing on anyone's mind except for the people working in the experimental gardens with the big signs that say "Don't eat. Experiment Garden" or something like that.

So now that I am all grown up and know basically nothing about surviving outside of Western civilization I am going to learn how to grow food! Probably all I'll be good for is pulling weeds, but I'm still really excited. The most exciting thing about the whole garden for me is that we will be growing my great-grandfathers tomatoes (he was a botanist for Rutgers University). Here is what the Catalpa Tree Seed Co. had to say about the tomatoes: "Rutgers has proven itself for years to be highly productive. Large, attractive fruits with thick, solid flesh. Superior flavor, delicious in salads, unsurpassed for home canning. Indeterminate. " Isn't that nice! You can see how beautiful they are in the picture. I'll try to keep everyon updated on my progress as a gardener/theologian.
