Snuck (is that the past tense of sneek?) carrot puree on pita then topped with sauce that had vegies in it. Muenster cheese on top and parsley and the kid is presently EATING it! I’m psyched.
Just came in from working all day with Craig in the yard. Garden is up. That includes tomatoes and onions planted. From last year I had lemon balm (nice in iced tea or lemonade), sage and oregano. The fence is assembled and all I have to do now is take a trip out east to get the rest of the plants I want. What a relief. I can’t do as much being 20 weeks pregnant but I have to say I sort of rocked out there. hehehe
Off to see Star Trek tonight – YAY!
I’m totally wanting to start preparing my garden but it is way too rainy out.
Thoughts:
What to plant..hmmmmmm
tomatoes
carrots
cukes
peas
maybe onions and garlic this year
I’ll try corn again
no squash
eggplant
strawberries
I think I’m going to need a bigger garden!
My weeping cherry is bursting with buds. That totally makes me happy. After scanning the yard for growth and stuff, I am realizing that we have a real problem in our yard. The bed along the house in the backyard is slowly or rather rapidly dying. Last summer something wiped out most of the plants and I don’t want to spend $$ on stuff till I find out what is causing this. There are tons of holes that lead me to believe that there are either moles or voles. Can they eat roots under the ground? Has anybody a clue? What the Heck!
Thanks so much for all the ideas on “keeping it simple”. I have read flylady before but got a little nuts from her. My sister found her a long time ago. I do try and keep a sparkly sink though. LOL. Jill – I make piles now in each room when I clean. I’ve cut down on the wasting time walking from room to room. Melissa – 27 things? Does mail count? Beth – I agree…I just have to DO IT!
Update on the ad on Myspace:
I GOT MY CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy how I forget to do this. I need to unclutter and organize around here. I’m up to my eyeballs with stuff! Anyone have some interesting ways on how I can start? (and don’t tell me to throw everything out (Jill)) hahaha.
Fall is coming…
Pool closes on Saturday : (
What a storm we had yesterday! The sky just opened up. Did anyone get hail? We did. Little chunks of ice fell. Did I mention it was like 85 degrees out. So weird. After the crazy rain and wind stopped, I looked out in the backyard. ALL OF MY TOMATO PLANTS WERE DOWN! I shrieked. You don’t even understand. This is my first garden and everything is doing really well. My heart just sank thinking that the plants might have been ripped up or broken. We went out there and thank God we were able to salvage everything. We tied all the plants up and secured all the stakes. Whew! It was a close one. All during this mayhem…..little Ben peacefully slept.
It is pretty rainy out today but that doesn’t get me down. I love days like this. The air is a bit cooler and things smell a bit fresher. I just walked around the yard to check on all the growth. I spied little cherry tomatoes already! YAY. They are very low to the ground still. I hope that is ok. I have them staked but they didn’t grow that tall yet. I even think I saw the sugar snap peas breaking through. I know there is weeding to do but I’m hesitant to pull anything because I’m just not sure they are weeds. I planted so many seeds that I don’t wan’t to pull the wrong thing. I’ll wait a bit longer.
If you are interested in an organic lawn, then NOW is the time to put down your pre-emergent. We used Jonathan Greene (Thanks Paul!) Weed control (corn gluten). It is pretty powdery so wear a mask when laying it down. We have cleared all the beds of weeds and leaves, pruned our roses and are ready for the spring. I’m also in the market for a simple trellis for my “new dawn” roses that I planted last fall. I’m excited to watch them grow.
