My friend Raina is "that friend," the friend that each of us has at least one of, the friend who has an incredible garden. The garden that, if you weren't so proud of your friend, you'd be extremely jealous of. A recent evening when Raina had a few of us over for dinner, us girls went out to take a look at the finale of her veggies. As we discovered, the veggies were still going strong in late September. The tomatoes were almost shoulder high, and hid tons of little, red ripe ones under her skirts; the cucumbers yielded almost five massive fruits; and the chard just wouldn't quit-- Raina said she was harvesting it for the fifth time that season. There were carrots too-- cute, crisp ones, and as you can probably see in the background of some of the shots, Raina's nasturtium is aspiring to a mountainous size. Berkeley (curly hair) and I were so excited by the bounty and thrilled by Raina's (blue tank top) handiwork, we decided to have an impromptu photo shoot. Here we are rolling around in the garden, picking veggies, eating them straight from the vine, and just all around loving and relishing the fact that you can grow what you eat. Astonishing.
