Time Flies!

Our square foot gardening is coming along famously. I have such a good hubby for making them for me. The potatoes, carrots, radishes and even the greens are looking good. It's time for me to make the lay out for the second bed.

I'm very sore a) because of a car accident I got into, b) the chiropractor I finally saw yesterday, and c) the myopathic practitioner I saw. The latter is very good and focuses on one body part at a time until he can release the 'lesions'. I call them knots. Things are bound to get a bit worse before I'm feeling better, but that's ok. I'm just afraid my fibromyalgia will flare up!

On better news I've earned over $50 in Gift Cards for Amazon. I even signed up for Amazon prime for free 2 day shipping! All because of my favorite search engine Swag Bucks. Ya'll need to check it out and sign up. I'll give you a link.

Gardening!

My "Square Foot Gardening" adventure continues! I bought some fingerling potato starts and many seeds including: Blue Lake Bush Beans, Collards, Royal Burgundy Bush beans, Kale, Bibb Lettuce and Thai Basil (for Vietnamese grilled meat salad wraps this summer!), Nantes Carrots, Half Long Carrots, Broccoli, Sugar Baby Watermelon, Cucumber all from Ed Hume Seeds. I also plan on getting pumpkin, salad mix, radishes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and maybe radishes and brussel sprouts which are delicious fresh. I'll keep you posted on our journey to more self-sufficiency through growing our own food. All I need do now is buy a few types of compost and some lath boards to mark of the square feet and I'm on my way! Here's a link from Amazon to the book:
