Reflections

I can't believe this class it over. It seems like just yesterday I was planning my plot and sowing the seeds (half of which never sprouted, but I'm not bitter). Now, my plot is kind of starting to look like it did at the beginning (desolate, barren, etc.), but there was a fruitful period somewhere in between.

We were asked about what we learned over the course of the class (and no, the answer "how to garden" is not an option). I thought about this for a while before coming to any conclusion. Before this class started, I was genuinely certain that nothing would grow. I thought that I would mess it all up somehow. But you should have seen how excited I was the first time I brought a harvest home. Parading it around to each of my roommates rooms, I felt like I had struck gold. So I would say that I picked up a few invaluable gardening skills, but more than that I proved to myself that I could do something that I once thought impossible. That's a success in my book.

Plus I learned that I could make some kick-ass chocolate chip zucchini bread. So, there's that.


Here are some of my favorite pictures from the class to wrap things up. Hope at least one person enjoyed this blog/experience as much as I did.
