April Garden Update

Image
Garden update! It’s been about a month since I planted my garden and I wanted to post an update. I planted: Basil Cilantro  Tomato Lettuce Green onion Carrots (I planted these a few weeks later) The basil is growing the best of all. Cilantro took just over two weeks to sprout. Tomato seedlings are finally getting some sturdy leaves. Lettuce in the barrel did not grow, so I planted seeds in a seed grow pod and lettuce sported in two days. Green onion sprouted in the first week, but they don’t seem to be growing much now. The carrots were planted in the barrel planter and sprouted in 3 days. It’s been really fun to watch my garden grow. I can’t wait to get to the point where I can eat some of it! Thanks for stopping by, Therese 

Spring Madness

Hello world and can it be that we are all wondering when COVID-19 madness will end? I know the world goes through sickness every year, but this year we are all hyper-sensitive to what is happening in every country. Through this time, I  know stress takes a different toll on everyone and I wonder what others are doing around the world to cope. I have seen art projects, music, parodies, toilet paper memes, stained glass chalk driveways, gardening and so much more! I think we are all losing it, but trying to make the best of it. I feel connected in this way of finding the positive in a tainted situation, but I am reminded that the whole world needs to stay inside and keep our distance from one another to do our part to help slow this beast down! I did some gardening a couple weeks ago, something I haven't really done in 4 or so years. I forgot how therapeutic gardening is and I forgot for a few hours that there was anything else going on. I wanted to share some before and aft
