Despite what you may have heard, vegetable consumption does not guarantee good health

I've been eating tons of veggies and fruits (gotta build up my compost). You'd think I would be the picture of perfect health...WRONG. I am sick! So, I finally broke down and went to the doctor today and got a shot and some nice cough syrup. I hope this helps. We are supposed to have really nice spring weather this weekend and I have a lot to take care of. Because I have been under the weather, I've completely let go of my household duties. Anyone that knows me well, knows I am a clean freak. So, I've got to get that under control and work on some stuff for school. Just a little over a month left and my Master's will be complete. Yippy!

I almost started having a panic attack when thinking about my garden. I have so many plans, I truly know NOTHING about gardening, timing is everything, etc. I kept playing all of these "what-ifs?" in my mind and I started to wonder if I had bitten off more than I can chew. Being the annoying list-making planner that I am, I decided to make a garden notebook to organize and catalog all of my seeds, schedules, garden layout, etc. Oh, I am back in control now! What did we do before the 3-ring binder, really?



On to my seeds... I had to plant a few of my seeds because some vegetables need to be started inside weeks before planting season. I started my bell peppers (regular and carnival), banana peppers, red onion, yellow onion, roma tomatoes, and beefmaster tomatoes. I also planted some rosemary, dill, and basil. Because I love flowers (what girl doesn't?), I planted some impatiens. Kevin will set some iris bulbs for me this weekend too (he doesn't know yet). ha! On a funny note, my husband loves cactus plants. Who knows why? In my opinion, cacti are LAME-O! But, because I am a super-thoughtful wife, I decided to get Kev a cactus growing kit. It will be funny to see how those turn out.

This is a picture of the self-watering indoor seed starting kit I got...pretty nifty!



Here are all my planted seeds! Everything is labeled and I can't wait for germination! I am going to have to get used to having all of this kitchen clutter...



Happy Weekend to everyone!
