Summer with the Ruzichs'

We absolutely loved being as sustainable as we could this summer! The fruits of our labor sure paid off, and thanks to the Lutheran Church garden (Our Saviour Lutheran is actually our landlord), we had unlimited access to the beautiful garden's flowers and organic veggies! We endearingly call the garden the "meadow" since it is actually a huge vacant lot which includes the garden that is located a few lawns from our house. It's our perfect little lot of heavenly urban meadow. My garden took off too in my attempt to grow seeds this year. I learned a lot and will try the pumpkin patch again next year. Unfortunately, we had a infestation of vine-boring moths and ruined most of our squash crop. The tomatoes were monstrous, and I will grow more peppers and carrots next year. That said, we had a beautiful productive summer full of fun, sun, love, and family.
