This is MY season! I love the warm weather! Nothing gets me so motivated or energized as a beautiful day, bright sun or a warm breeze! Even a five pump white chocolate mocha from the Bux can't invigorate me so!
So, what to do with this energy? Have I created any new Penguins or dragons? No. I have so many on hand that I'd rather clear that inventory than make new pieces.
My newest "craft" would be my patio. My husband and I have started a tiny edible garden. Since we are limited to container gardening, and this is our first attempt, we are starting small.
We have wonderful resources at our disposal. Both sets of my parent-in-laws have bountiful gardens and limitless knowledge. We also have the Moss Street Market on Saturdays which is but a mile away. It is filled with helpful and kind folk who help us with our selections and plantings.
So far we have started with starter plants and from seed. We have carrots and tatsoi from seeds, a lettuce variety, tomato plant and basil from starter plants and, to take care of the entire family, we also have some cat grass for the kids.
The lettuce variety should be ready to harvest in a week or so. The basil is ready as soon as it has leaves. The tomato plant won't be ready until the end of Spring or mid-Summer. I have a fantasy of making my own tomato sauce from my own garden this summer!
I will add some photos to this post shortly.
I hope to sell some of my art at the Moss Street Market this season. I just have a few commitments to clear until then.
