the early girl

This morning I ventured up to the roof garden, and much to my delight discovered that the "Early Girl" had delivered! Two perfect yellow buds. And then LOOK what I found on the "Cherokee"! I practically cried. For those of you seasoned gardeners out there, I am sure this is all routine, but for me it is miraculous. The challenge of bringing this garden to life has been immense, from getting approval from the condo board and overcoming the nay sayers to battling a rather unforgiving roof-top climate. So, yes this is a minor miracle. Of course, we are not hanging up the victory banner until we sit down to our first home-grown Caprese salad and a cool bottle of rosé. There is still a way to go.

A couple of you have chided me about not sharing some wedding details here. Well, honestly I didn't want this to become a bridal blog! However, there are some fun things you might enjoy hearing about (from historic houses to grand old gardens), so stay tuned over the next few months. {wink, wink}
