Truly, truly, truly insprirageous.

Let me begin by saying that I've been pining for a web space where I could write and post pictures of my various crafting exploits. While I do have Facebook, Myspace, Picasaweb, and Flickr accounts, neither of these really satisfies me the way a good blog does.

Anyway, the other reason why I created this blog rests in the creation of another blog (you might call it a sister blog) called All Things That Are Good, which was started by my very good friend and fellow gardener, Jessica (but you can call her Pooka.)

So, on to garden things. Miami is notoriously hot (hence the blog name) and it's a real challenge trying to get anything to grow correctly here. However, this fact has failed to deter me from the pleasures of producing delicious goodness in the form of herbs and veggies. Also, nothing feels better than proving nature wrong. YOU CAN'T BURN MY VEGGIES, BIATCH. I GOT THIS.

Now. Feast your eyes upon my recent victories!
