Garden Update

How is everyone's gardening efforts going?

I have moved all of my tomato, peas, broccoli, jalapeno, and habanero plants outside. I have all four of my hanging flower baskets full and hanging on the patio. Inside I still have a few flowers that are not mature enough to move outside and my bhut jolokia and red carribbean peppers have been transplanted to bigger pots but need to stay inside for quite a while yet. These particular peppers are not to be planted outdoors until the soil temperature reaches 60'.

I will try to take some pictures of my plants outside soon.

Do you buy CSA?

I have been debating whether to buy a CSA share this season?

I would really like to support a local farmer and I am really trying to incorporate more fresh fruit and vegetables into my families diet. To buy a share at our local CSA is $390 and that gets you a box of freshly grown, in season produce for 18 weeks. I am worried about getting things that my kids won't eat and having it go to waste, and not getting enough of things we will eat and having to buy more at the farmer's market or grocery store.

The deadline to buy a share is Friday. Ugh, I need to hear more from people that have done this before.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I hope all the mothers reading this had a great day.

I spent mine doing the typical mommy things: taking care of a very sick little girl, cooking, and doing laundry. My little girl is so sick all she wants to do is cuddle on my lap, which is very nice, I just wish it was under better circumstances.

Checkup & Shots

My youngest daughter had her 18 month checkup and shots today. The doctor said everything is looking very good. And she was a really tough girl and barely wimpered when she got her shots.

Broken Toe

This morning I broke one of my toes. What horrible timing, I have a very busy week: two doctor's apptointments for the kids, orientation at next year's new intermediate school, plus five days of work and all my normal other duties. Ugh, walking is very painful, but there's nothing I can do to change it now.
