This weekend is kind of an odd weekend for us, you see I have to work! Mind you, I can telecommute, but still!! I have to clock in at least my self-appointed 8 hours for today!!! (and then I get to do it again tomorrow!!) I think since I have to focus so much time on that today, that is all I will say about it here – for fear of depressing myself!! LOL! π
Since this is not a “normal” Saturday, I have created a short “Honey-Do” list for my sweetie to accomplish today. π
- Duct tape box upstairs so I can fill it for GoodWill
- Clean kitchen
- Gather dirty laundry – including bedding
- Put 3 large flower pots into corner in back yard
- Prep worm/compost bin out back
- Tend to mini front yard (and when I say mini, I mean like 5 foot by 5 foot)
The one thing I really miss about having a house vs a condo, is that I miss having fresh veggies ever year, so I am wanting to have a small container garden out back this year. In one section I want an herb garden, and in the other section I want some simple veggie plants, like cherry tomatoes, potatoes, and maybe some spinach and dark leafy lettuce. I wanted these things last year too, but we didn’t make them a priority, so we will see what we can make of these dreams this year!!! π
Does anyone have any good ideas on vegetable plants that may grow really well in a large container??
Also, my little sister, Jennifer is going to teach me about recycling – I know – WHERE THE HECK HAVE I BEEN??? I am REALLY BEHIND in this area of my life. You know GOING GREEN!?!?! Ever since watching the documentary No Impact Man, it has really been a persistent thought in my head, that I have to do more to protect my environment!! So, this is where my new found motivation is now coming from, with a renewed vigor!! π
I will keep you posted of our progress!!
Oh, and did I mention – WE ARE PICKING MEGAN TODAY!!! WHOO-HOO!!!
Have a FABULOUS day!!! π
Hi sis! Well a thought about the vegies..what about carrots or any rooted vegie?! Another one that I LOVE LOVE LOVE is Lemon Cukes. They are soooooo delish!!!!
Oh, lemon cukes – I hadn’t thought of those – thanks sis!!! π

we have a tiny little patio and grow all sorts of vegetables in big pots – everything from peppers to herbs to tomatoes! as long as you leave space for the plants to grow, you should be okay.
