  • This check-in is for July 16th – 22nd.
  • I found out that I can plant a few things over the next couple of months for a Fall harvest!  I lost my broccoli, basil, spinach, and carrots during my first planting, but now I’ve got a chance to try again.  I’m also going to grow another head of lettuce and some more radishes.

  • This check-in is for July 8th – 15th.
  • My tomato and watermelon plants are still growing at an alarming rate!  My onions should be coming out of the ground next weekend, and I might be harvesting my spinach and green beans soon as well.  Sadly, I won’t have any pumpkins this year.  The seedlings died, and there isn’t enough time to try growing another.  I’ll have to try again next year.

  • This check-in is for June 25th – July 8th.
  • Since I was in Arizona and not able to post a check-in, this check-in is for 2 weeks.
  • I got a lot of steps and miles walked while I was in Arizona, but I came down with some kind of a stomach bug shortly after I got back.
  • I did so much walking during my trip that I earned another $5 towards something on my wishlist!
  • My garden exploded in growth while I was gone!  My tomato and watermelon plants are determined to escape the trellis, and everything but my pepper plants are flowering.  I’m not sure what is taking them longer to grow, but they still look healthy so I’m going to leave them be for now.

  • This check-in is for June 18th – 24th.
  • Next weekend I’ll be out of town, so I decided to harvest the head of lettuce in my garden this weekend.  I just know that if I waited, it would bolt and get bitter.  It’s a good thing I did, too, because we’ve gotten so much rain lately that the leaves at the very bottom had started to rot.  Even after removing the bad stuff, though, I’ve still got more lettuce than the Boyfriend and I will probably be able to eat before it goes bad.  We’re having lots of salads this week!
  • Since I won’t be home, there won’t be a check-in next week until I get back.

  • This check-in is for June 11th – 17th.
  • The Boyfriend and I went to the Celtic Festival yesterday.  We had a blast, saw my favorite Scottish pipe and drum band, Albannach, and I got lots of steps and active minutes in.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring sunscreen or a hat with me and got a horrible sunburn on my face and arms.  I will definitely be more prepared for the Renaissance Festival in September.

  • This check-in is for June 4th – 10th.
  • I worked extra hours this week trying to accrue enough time to have a four-day weekend over the Juneteenth holiday, and maybe I overdid it?  I hurt my back somehow and was stuck on the couch most of yesterday.  I’m still hurting a bit, so the Boyfriend will probably have to help me with my garden today.

  • This check-in is for May 28th – June 3rd.
  • It’s been so hot where I live lately that I’ve been having trouble sleeping.  I’m struggling to find the energy to do things that I want to do and my moods have been up and down as well.  Luckily, it rained last night which seems to have cooled things down a little bit.

  • I’m glad I didn’t completely give up on my garden.  I ended up with a couple of very delicious radishes!  They’re probably the most expensive radishes I’ve ever eaten, but it was very satisfying to pull them out of the ground, wash them, and eat them because I grew them myself 🙂  I’m not going to get my hopes up, but maybe I’ll get a few more veggies out of my garden this year.

  • This check-in is for May 14th – 20th.
  • I’ve had a bit of a rough week, healthwise.  I ended up having to stay home from work for 2 days and I had the same issue this weekend, which put a damper on having the house to myself while the Boyfriend is out of town.

  • This check-in is for May 7th – 13th.
  • I think I’m giving up on gardening.  It feels like whenever I have the time to do anything, it’s raining, and then when it’s not raining I have to hurry up to do whatever I can before I have to do other things.  It’s becoming more of a chore and isn’t relaxing or enjoyable at all.
