Exercising in the Garden!

I have blogged before about how much I love getting out in my little garden and working up a good sweat. But, I am happy to say my healthy hobby is also paying off in the kitchen. Yesterday, I picked my first home-grown veggies; a cucumber and a yellow squash! And my little Zinnia's have bloomed and I've got quite a few little green tomatoes on the vine! I weeded my garden yesterday and today and picked raked out the leaves vor about 30 minutes and what a sweat! I cannot get over what a healthy hobby gardening has become for me. It gets me out of the house, burning calories and gives me healthy food options that don't cost a ton! I will post some pictures of my little veggies! They were so yummy!
