What next?

Things are changing. Spring is in the air. I know this because my eyes are swollen and I am itching. Dan is outside now building boxes for my garden. I know he is doing this as a gift to me because to my surprise I found out I love to garden even if I am allergic to everything. I have 150 plants growing in my laundry room to hopefully transplant to the garden.

We have a life now of uncertainity. Dan is going to be going to school on the weekends to hopefully increase his income. However, if it works out it will change our lifestyle competely. The only thing I know for now is that God is in control and works good for those who love him.

I am excited about the plants in the laundry room actually sprouting. Yet at the same time kicking my self for not starting them in February. I hope to get enough from the garden to really make a dent in our food bill. Dan said the taste difference is enough to make it worthwhile plus the enjoyment I get from playing in the garden. I started to say dirt but that is not true as I can not stand to have dirt on me. Which makes me think I should have started experimenting with hydroponics.

That thought made me go look up hydroponics I see a the pretty plants and think I could do this in my basement. Then reality sets in you can not even keep up with the laundry now how would I find the time to tend the garden in the basement.

Can you catch ADD? I do believe I have.

Right now I plan to be better at actually harvesting the garden. Planting for all seasons. And also canning from the farmer's market.

I have a plan to start a coop for my friends to save us all money and get better produce from the farmers market. However, I am having trouble getting a plan together. Everytime I think now is the time we will have vehicles break down to the point of only having one vehicle running and whoever has to be at work is the priority.

Also I plan to be better at blogging to know what works in my garden. This is already in jeopardy as we have lost the usb cord to my camera and can not remove photos from the camera. That is the easiest fix if I can get the car to go to the store to get another cord.

I am posting this as a accountabilty that I will have to get these things done.
