Something New to try this Year





This year on the garden menu will be buttercrunch lettuce,basil,eggplants,two kinds of tomatoes,cherry tomatoes,and two different kinds of peppers. Planted carrots yesterday and this weekend planting peas and three kinds of leaf lettuce. I hope I got this right this year and everything doesn't get ate or get blight like it did last year. In the meantime,believe it not I still have broccoli plants I overwintered that are still putting out! And I have a small rosemary that is still trying to grow.I also have lavender that is going to go outside as soon as this weather warms up.

Now if this rain would stop for abit and let us dry out but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Since I wrote the top paragraphs my seeds have come up except the eggplants and some of the peppers.But hopefully they will soon.I got my peas going and carrots,yet to see some life from them. I planted the peas where I grew the loofhas last year.And I got both sides of the trellis covered.
This weekend (hopefully without rain but suppose to) going to put in vertical trellis for the yard long and green beans.I guess I'm gonna put in raised beds this year.I was going to try for hugelkultur beds but after much thought  and reading,they attract snakes and mice and thats two things I don't need.i really wanted to make one but....


My weight loss is coming along pretty good. 60 pounds gone so far. It has however slowed down to a turtle crawl,hadn't really lost any since January but was told that was normal because the more weight I lose they slower it comes off.Ok. Plus my age too so.


That's what's up right now,not much until the garden gets going.I'll try to get pictures on here on the progress if I can get a camera.Or I can get my phone camera working.Have a great day!
