blocking these squares, trying to find a color theme here... hmmmm.....
these two are my twins, love how they see themselves!
even though it appears life is back to normal, i assure you it is not. i still have a blurry left eye which is freakin driving me nuts to say the least. every single day the improvement is so slight i can hardly believe i am getting better. i know i am a big whiney baby but man i need my eyes back! last night i worked a 3 hour shift and i felt tons better than last week (my poor patients probably thought i was whacked looking from side to side and up close and back, geez!!) so i know i am getting better. still, cant wait to be 100 percent (even with my severe nearsightedness i have been lucky to get 20/20 vision with contacts). so this week my garden plot has been major therapy for me. it is a short drive away and so far carrying manure and wood chips back and forth for hours at a time has kept me busy. my corn and carrots may be planted crooked, my dirt may not be level and just about everything planted incorrectly, but i FEEL better for having gotten out of the house. hoping for a huge harvest!
started planting the girls area... corn, carrots, swiss chard, sunflowers and a few flowers. i have one bed for yellow squash, zucchini, watermelon, cantelope and cucumber. one bed will be red,green,yellow and orange bell peppers, several hot chili peppers (red and green), bush beans and hopefully some sugar snaps. last will be the tomatoes, spinach and basil. where that artichoke is will have more tomatoes around it. i went to the local city college plant sale and scored tomato plants for a dollar each (an orange called "tangerine" that is an heirloom) and a japanese tomato that is supposed to be pinkish (forgot the name off hand!) and then the balls beefstake, early girl, two cherries (one called sugar something and the other is that "100 best" or something... dont you love all the detail with the lack of detail mixed in?) yikes! last were the italian roma and some kind of plum tomato. is this enough plant talk for ya??? i have manure on my tennies and plants on the brain! i need a shower and then off to work.
