No Garden this Year :(

Back and Legs kept getting worse and I just could not keep up with gardening this year. So last week my son finally mowed the "weed haven" down. I still have not given up on my dream though. My big investment next Spring will be a Mantis tiller. Those are the lightweight tillers that will allow me to weed and cultivate without all the bending and stooping! I've decided to start a "veggie box" business. My plan is to each week fill I hope around 25 boxes full of my garden produce and include a newsletter with info and recipes. I plan to price this very reasonable and customers will know they are getting local, homegrown, produce with no chemicals being used in the process. It's still my dream and I'm going to make it happen! Fall is fast approaching and you know me...FOOTBALL! Very dissapointed in the Colts loss in the Superbowl this year, but I believe they will be in next years and WIN! Son is in football camp this week. He loves it even though it is so unblessedly hot! He has really changed over the year since he has been going to the gym for a good 8 months now. Getting taller and muscular. He looked really good on the field last night. I'm very proud of him! Well, I know I've said this before but I will really try to update more on my blog! Till then...

I'm Back!!!!!!!!

Hey there..Happy New Year (late)! Can't believe it's february already and the Colts are in the Superbowl Sunday! Gotta get that out of the way before I can concentrate on anything else! Well of course both garden's are gray, bare and cold! Plan on ordering my tomato, pepper and lettuce mix seeds next weekend. They say you can plant lettuce on valentine's day. If I get a decent 40 degree day between now and then I can get a spot ready to plant some lettuce. In late February/early March I will start my tomato and pepper seeds. Still haven't got that digital camera yet! But my tax refund is coming! I'm starting to heal. Still have the nerve damage problems with my feet, and I have upped my neurontin. Tried lyrica but I couldn't tell it was making a difference and it costs me $60.00 a month. The steroid injection I received in early December has been working fairly well for my back. But there still seems like something is not quite right. Now I have a left foot that is in severe pain everyday, so I need to see about that. In March as we may get a few 50 degree days I plan on preparing the soil in my garden, enhancing it with compost, manure ect. Stay tuned for more posts from me...I am officially off hiatus! GO COLTS!
