I got to find my green thumb!!

These are my Mom's tomato plants. She started them with seeds inside, I need to do the same. I am going to go and get the things I need and start them this week. Grow them and then plant them outside at the end of May. I am not sure exactly what I want yet. I need to draw it out and figure out what kind of veggies we will eat. I am really excited about growing our own food. We watched 'Food Inc.' last night. It is pretty scary what we don't know about our food. I think that we (James and I) need to be more conscious of what we are eating. We are already pretty good but we eat a lot of processed stuff. He wants to start running and doing yoga, once he starts that he will eat more and need better, whole foods. We need to buy local and organic. He is going to go in on a half cow with some guys from work. He eats a lot of meat, which is fine, but he needs to make sure it is good meat.

Spring is on its way!!!

I am very excited about springtime. The last week has been beautiful and sunny everyday. This weekend is supposed to be 7 degrees! For the first time ever I am going to garden this year. I have never had the space, always in an apartment. I've always wanted to grow herbs and flowers. I have two flower beds at the side of the house. Both get lots of sun and are a nice size. The smaller one is going to be veggies and fuit. The larger one is going to be flowers. I am not sure yet what plants I want to grow. I need to remember to keep it simple. I always have big ideas but then overwhelm myself. I am trying to change that in every area of my life. I will take pictures of the garden and let you know how it is going. Hopefully there won't be too many hiccups. Of course, keep in mind I know nothing about gardening!!
