The Garden

Even though it is only January the garden is in full swing. I have started seeds and already have many seedlings. I have plants outside in containers too. There are some advantages of living in Austin.

Now I am not sure were my garden will be this summer because I am trying to downsize my housing. So as I search for new housing, I will be container gardening. And for now that works fine because I am growing a lot of herbs. I have started to sell some of my herbs at the local Famers Market. I am hoping to increase the variety of herbs to sell. I am also hoping to have some starts for sale in the spring.

So the garden is keeping me busy not only with seedling. But my garden boxes will be making the move too. I have filled all my outside containers with dirt and I am starting to bag up the rest. I have only emptied a few because I have ran into some fire ant mounds and I don't want to take them with me. So I have been treating the spots and then have to wait. But my thinking is if I do a little work everyday by the time I find a place to move. The garden will be ready to move.

Hammer vs. Hand

Only one post this week and it's going to be short and sweet. Last Saturday when I was out making garden boxes. I managed to hit my hand with a hammer. I did stop working and put ice on it and took some Advil. I did all the things that you would think to do for a hammered hand. But by Tuesday I was still having eye crossing pain, so I call the nurse to see what they recommend I do. She said I need to come and be seen. Off to the doctor I went. I didn't think that I had broke anything but I was wrong. I have a Scaphoid Fracture of the Wrist.
