I think I lost my train of thought.

I'll admit it. Lately, food is all I think about. I've spent weeks and weeks learning to cook everything under the sun. I am soaking up everything and I can't get enough. During my studies, I have convinced myself that a garden is the only way I will be able to enjoy the deliciousness of summer tomatoes, basil, parsley, strawberries, peppers, squash, etc, etc. Just to be clear, it shouldn't come from just any garden. Those fruits and veggies better pop out of my garden. The one that I will lovingly slave over, water, till, sing to, watch grow. Maybe I should consider that I've only owned a handful of plants that I have successfully kept alive. But, I can be terribly stubborn, so I doubt my inexperience would stop me.

But, then...I'm starting a rigorous school schedule in May and gardening will be the last thing on my mind. After class, lab, clinicals, studying, I definitely won't have any time to do this. I will be living in my books and eating whatever I can manage to fit in that little pocket on the outside of my backpack (X-tra Cheddar flavor-blasted Goldfish usually did the trick). I will have no time for my ripe, delicious, plump tomatoes...Mmmm tomatoes. Juicy tomatoes. I can fit those in my backpack. I can make sun dried tomatoes every week! We could eat pounds of sun dried tomato pasta! I could make sun dried tomato pesto! We could make tomato sauce on a whim and put it on pizza! Ooooh, I could grow jalapenos and we could make salsa! I forgot to add cilantro to the gardening list.  We could sip on strawberry smoothies after we devour that salsa! I'd better start working out now before I eat myself into oblivion. Oh, I can't wait to have a garden!!...

Wait, what was I talking about again?
