From gardening to farming

If you have read my post before or if you know me, you know that I am a gardener. I had small gardens as a child and the last 15 years I have always had some type of garden.

This year I feel behind on my garden (I have gotten spoiled by the long warm season we get in Texas). Between the weather and I am in the middle of replacing over half my garden beds. I feel that I should so much more in the ground, and some of that should happen this week. I have a lot of starts in the house just waiting for me to put dirt in the new beds.

I am also working on an herb garden at the Farmers Market and I will be adding more plants too this week. I will also start working on putting in showcase garden at the Farmers Market for some of things growing at the farm that I became Farm Manager of this week.

Before I was hoping to have room to grow a few extra plants and now I will have plenty of room. Check out My Garden page to see the redesign and other updates on the garden.

She sweep, mopped, emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, wiped down the counters and sweep the stairs. It was so nice to have them done. They were all things that needed to be done.

I feel so behind in getting a blog post up. Life has been keeping very busy but all in good way. Now I recently got myself an ipad to replace my laptop that had died. So I have been trying to figure out the best way to write on the ipad. I think I found the best way for now. With less than a month before my half marathon and trying to train in the Texas heat is a challenge. But getting out early and lots of water make it manageable. I am swimming on my cross train day and sometime on run days too. (I am already at the pool six days a week and it gives me something to do vs standing around for an hour.)  The garden is coming a long. I have twenty beds in area 66' x 7'. So I have a lot  of plants in the ground and still have some beds that I have not planted yet. But this Texas and I do have a long growing season. So they will end up with plants in them. My biggest concern with the garden right now is water. We are under tight  water restrictions . When the rules were made th...
