I didn’t spend much time last week in my garden. It rained most of the week, so I didn’t need to water. We have had some chilly windy days, so my sugar snap peas are holding on to the trellis and each other refusing to let the wind relocate them. I remember the first time […]

This weeks report: I ran Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I weigh 157 and am starting to feel it in my clothes! I found a quote by Brian Tracy that I love. It is “Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines.” I love it because it sums up what I think about writing down goals. […]

I planted my celery seeds back in October. I probably planted too many seeds and should have thinned them more when they were tiny. I now have a big patch of celery that is growing every direction but straight up. I did do some research before I planted and remember something about banding the stalks […]

Saturday I planted 3 yukon gold potatoes. I bought them for $1 at Sweet Organic Solutions and was so excited to get them in my garden. I turned over the soil and made a big mound in the middle of one of the tubs. I buried each of the potatoes about a bit more than […]
